Neutralization of charge on colloids
Smoke precipitator works on the principle of neutralizing the charge on colloidal particles present in the smoke.
Working principle
When smoke passes through the precipitator, it encounters oppositely charged plates. The smoke particles, being charged, are attracted to these plates where they accumulate and form a layer.
Neutralizing the charge
The charged particles present in the smoke are neutralized as they come into contact with the oppositely charged plates. This neutralization causes the particles to lose their charge and stick to the plates, effectively removing them from the smoke stream.
Formation of a layer
As more and more particles are neutralized and accumulate on the plates, they form a layer that can be easily removed. This process helps in cleaning the smoke and reducing air pollution.
Efficiency of smoke precipitator
The efficiency of a smoke precipitator depends on factors such as the strength of the electric field, the size of the particles, and the composition of the smoke. By effectively neutralizing the charged particles, smoke precipitators play a crucial role in reducing pollution levels in the environment.
