A close-up of an electrospray device, with emitter tip in foreground pointing to the right. The jet of ionised spray is visible within the image. To simplify the discussion, the following paragraphs will address the case of a positive electrospray with the high voltage applied to a metallic emitter.
Electrostatic coating is a manufacturing process that employs charged particles to more efficiently paint a workpiece. Paint, in the form of either powdered particles or atomized liquid, is initially projected towards a conductive workpiece using normal spraying methods, and is then accelerated toward the work piece by a powerful electrostatic charge.
The spray drying technique was first described in 1860 with the first spray dryer instrument patented by Samuel Percy in 1872. [citation needed] With time, the spray drying method grew in popularity, at first mainly for milk production in the 1920s and during World War II, when there was a need to reduce the weight and volume of food and other materials.
Spray drying and spray painting are the most important and common uses of this technology. Many industries need to convert a large mass of liquid into a dispersion of small (micron-size) droplets (generate a spray). Some examples of this need are evaporative cooling, meteorology, printing, medical applications, spray combustion, coating, and ...
The most common way of applying the powder coating to metal objects is to spray the powder using an electrostatic gun, or corona gun. The gun imparts a negative charge to the powder, which is then sprayed towards the grounded object by mechanical or compressed air spraying and then accelerated toward the workpiece by the powerful electrostatic ...
In wet scrubbing systems, the flue gas normally passes first through a fly ash removal device, either an electrostatic precipitator or a baghouse, and then into the SO 2-absorber. However, in dry injection or spray drying operations, the SO 2 is first reacted with the lime, and then the flue gas passes through a particulate control device.
Electrostatic spray-assisted vapour deposition (ESAVD) is a technique (developed by a company called IMPT) to deposit both thin and thick layers of a coating onto various substrates. In simple terms chemical precursors are sprayed across an electrostatic field towards a heated substrate, the chemicals undergo a controlled chemical reaction and ...
Spray painting poses health hazards that affect the respiratory, nervous, and circulatory systems. Similarly, using solvents to clean one's hands of paint marks and residue may cause skin irritation or even more serious issues since many are carcinogenic or neurotoxic .
