Electrostatic Particle Charging: Industrial and Health Care Applications FROM THE PUBLISHER
A fundamental look at how individual solid particles may be electrically charged and manipulated in such a way as to be of practical use. Powder coating, precipitation and electrocopying are the three most familiar applications of charged particles. In addition, this book highlights less well-known applications, including those related to health care.

Maintaining that air is a natural resource, and thus worthy of careful and thoughtful management, Hughes (bioelectrostatics, U. of Southampton) describes the use of electrostatically charged particles for controlling allergens and cleaning the air in health care facilities. He also discusses such industrial applications as powder coating, electrocopying, and electrostatic precipitation. Additional topics include particle cleaning, electrostatic effects, powder application equipment, particle separation, and phosphor dot coding. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
