ENHANCED DEPOSITION OF CHARGED AEROSOLS BY IONIC WIND EFFECTS IN DC CORONA DISCHARGES

  • 摘要: 为解决我国水资源短缺问题和开发大气水资源的急迫需求, 突破之前单电极电晕放电离子源的离子密度较低、气溶胶荷电困难的难题, 开发了一套基于离子风增强带电气溶胶沉积的负直流电晕放电系统. 该系统利用多个针电极与接地的网状电极, 实现了大面积、阵列式的负直流电晕等离子体, 可以对流经其中的气溶胶进行高效的荷电和处理. 虽然单电极放电产生的开放空间中的离子密度是双电极放电的20倍, 但双电极放电区域的电场约为单电极放电的15倍, 放电电流也更大. 强电场推动离子流进行定向运动, 同时推动中性分子, 使该装置可以产生速度高达2 m/s的离子风, 而与之相比, 单电极电晕放电的离子风速低于检测限. 双电极电晕放电产生的离子风带动了云室中空气的流动, 可以有效促进气溶胶的荷电、碰并以及在接地网状电极上的沉积, 可以快速减少空气中的气溶胶密度, 所需的时间仅为单电极放电的1/4. 在水雾气溶胶的沉积实验中, 其水雾的总沉积量是单电极放电的8.3倍. 因此, 双电极放电系统是诱导降水或消除致病生物气溶胶的潜在有效方法.

     

    Abstract: In response to China's water resource scarcity and the need to tap atmospheric water resources, a breakthrough has been achieved in addressing the challenges of low ion density and aerosol charging in single-electrode corona discharge ion sources. A system has been developed, based on negative direct current (DC) corona discharge, enriched by ion wind, for aerosol deposition. This system employs multiple needle electrodes and a grounded mesh electrode to generate a large-scale, arrayed negative DC corona plasma, allowing for efficient aerosol charging and treatment. The ion density in the open space produced by single-electrode discharge surpasses that of double-electrode discharge by 20 times. However, the electric field in the double-electrode discharge region is approximately 15 times stronger, resulting in substantially higher discharge currents. This intensified electric field propels ions and neutral molecules in directed motion, enabling the system to produce an ion wind with velocities of up to 2 m/s, surpassing typical single-electrode corona discharge speeds. The ion wind generated by the double-electrode corona discharge induces airflow within the chamber, facilitating aerosol charging, coagulation, and deposition onto the grounded mesh electrode. This rapid reduction in aerosol density takes only a quarter of the time compared to the single-electrode discharge. In deposition experiments with water mist aerosols, the double-electrode discharge system exhibited remarkable effectiveness, with total water mist deposition 8.3 times higher than single-electrode discharge. The double-electrode discharge system holds promise for inducing precipitation or mitigating pathogenic biological aerosols. In summary, the double-electrode discharge system represents a significant leap forward in addressing water resource scarcity and aerosol treatment challenges. Its capacity to generate an ion wind and enhance aerosol deposition efficiency presents a novel and transformative approach with implications for environmental and health-related applications. Continued research into this technology has the potential to revolutionize water resource management and air quality control practices.
