ABSTRACT:
Separation of dispersed phase (e.g., solid, gel, liquid or gas contiminant) from a continuous fluid background phase (liquid or gas) is achieved by injecting free charge into the phase mixture, which both induces an electric field within the mixture and effects charging of the dispersed phase. The interaction between the induced electric field and the charged contaminants causes migration of the contaminant and collection on preferably densely packed collector surfaces within the phase mixture. The dense packing reduces the migration path length and therefore increases the contaminant separation effectiveness. The collector surfaces can be provided by a bed of beads.
