Abstract

The actuality of the problem of contamination of objects by macro-molecular compounds is a growing problem today (especially given the terrible consequences of the pandemic). In fact, macromolecular complexes are mostly located on the surface layers of the surface covered with fine dust. Therefore, the development of technology for the removal of macromolecular components is actually a problem of fine (so we will call it) dust removal. This problem cannot be effectively solved by traditional mechanical removal methods alone, as contaminated objects have a rather complex, not even Euclidian, surface morphology. Therefore, it is important to develop effective technologies based on the use of properties of special configurations of external inhomogeneous electric field and removable components by means of a specially configured inhomogeneous electric field. The paper analyzes modern technologies of fine dust cleaning both mechanically and with the help of external electrical fields under the particular conditions and creation of levitation and electrophoretic motion. It has been found exact solutions of the model, which indicate in favor of the theoretical validity of decontamination technology using electric field with manipulative properties; the conditions of the most effective use of levitation-electrophoretic technology in the tasks of dust cleaning and decontamination, including decontamination of the surface-distributed macromolecular contaminants such as coronaviruses.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Cleaning of surfaces from pollution by macro-molecular components is an urgent task of technologies of protection of elements of environment. A theoretical model that can be used as a basis for the above technology and should allow modeling the kinetic stages of the whole process of manipulating the dynamics of micromechanical systems is strongly required In this way, it is proposed to analyze a combined levitationelectrophoretic model, which describes the manipulation of mechanical dust conglomerations in order to create a conceptual basis for technologies to protect the environment from dust pollution, and from adsorbed compounds, including macromolecular and viral origin. The main technologies of fine dust cleaning from fine dust include those that operate due to the applied external manipulated electric field (under the action of electric forces), namely - electric dust collectors and electrostatic precipitators The use of such technologies usually requires significant electrical costs. The improvement of appropriate technologies first of all requires finding ways (or conditions) to reduce the voltages required to generate electrophoretic motion
