Abstract
Apparatus for the high performance collection of gas entrained particulate, especially submicron particulate, consisting of a fluidized bed of collection sites with an electric field imposed on the bed so that the particulate to be collected, which is charged prior to entering the bed with the fluidizing gas, is electrically induced to agglomerate with the bed particles and the collected matter is removed in a fluidized state with the bed particles, which can consist of the collected material itself.
