Effectively Reduce PM2.5 Air Pollution with Electrorheology

PM2.5 air pollution is an important and urgent issue for our environment. While there are many devices, including electric filter systems, widely used, all of them are unable to catch PM2.5 carbon particles effectively because these particles are very stable. On the other hand, PM 2.5 carbon particles are the most serious part of air pollution. They accelerate global warming and iceberg melting as well. We have developed a new technology with electrorheology, which can catch PM2.5 carbon particles effectively. Carbon particles are  stable. Under a strong electric field, they are polarized, but cannot be ionized. This is the main reason why they cannot be captured by the current electric filter systems. In our suystem, we first arrange to make the air flow specially turbulent, which has the carbon particles flowing near the flow boundary, where electrodes are located. Then under strong electro-rheological interaction, these carbon particles are aggregated on the electrodes. In short, they are caught by the electrodes. Our lab tests have confirmed that this technology can catch more than 90% PM2.5 particles in air. Especially, it can catch carbon particles very effectively. We hope that this technology can effectively reduce PM2.5 air pollution and global warming..
