Abstract

We have investigated the potentialities of dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) for aerosol electro-processing with a special focus on ion production and aerosol charging for deposition (filtration and materials) and aerosol measurement tools. The advantages and drawbacks of aerosol injection downstream or upstream of the discharge are compared according to the application. The main parameters that control ion production and transport are investigated based on post-discharge ion current measurements. Post-DBD aerosol chargers are compared for submicron particle size measurements based on aerosol bipolar charging and electrical mobility analysis. Finally, the principle of counterflow extraction of bipolar ion from an atmospheric pressure DBD is established from upstream measurements of positive and negative ion fluxes in air, without neither ozone (<0.1 ppmv) nor nanoparticles.
