Abstract
AT a recent meeting of the Static Electrification Group of the Institute of Physics and the Physical Society1, Dr M. Madden of the Central Electricity Generating Board described a method by which solid material is extracted from the flue gases of electricity generating stations. The system uses a number of stages of electrostatic precipitation and, although an overall efficiency of extraction of more than 99 per cent is achieved, much of the dust that escapes is extremely fine because the efficiency of the process falls off with reduced particle size.
