Abstract
APPLICATION of a strong electrostatic field accompanied by corona discharge to the cleaning of gases was first shown by Hohlfeld in 1824. In 1884 his observations were extended by Sir Oliver Lodge, who continued the work and made a practical installation at a lead smelter in Scotland. In 1905 and 1906 this work was extended by Doctor Cottrell; this extension led to the development of the electrical precipitation process for the separation of solids and liquids from gases. This process is now used in a variety of applications.
