Recent work has shown that electric fields can be efficiently and effectively applied to generate fine droplets and bubbles of electrically nonconductive fluids, such as air or kerosene, into more conductive liquids, such as water. This phenomenon, termed inverse electrostatic spraying, extends the application set of electrically driven chemical processes and may be useful in a wide range of applications, including distillation ( Electodistillation ); aeration; ozonation ( Electrostatic Ozonation); and solvent extraction.
The following papers present details on research on inverse electrostatic spraying: "Electrostatic Spraying of Gases into Liquids" "Electrostatic Spraying of
Nonconductive Fluids into Conductive Fluids" For more information contact:
