Prior to the Bayer process bauxite is crushed and ground in mills to fine particles (max. size 0.06"/1.5mm). A hot …

 — How an electrostatic smoke precipitator works. Electrostatic smoke precipitators work by forcing dirty flue gas (the gas escaping from a smokestack) past two electrodes (electrical terminals), which take the form of metal wires, bars, or plates inside a pipe or smokestack. The first electrode is charged to a very high negative voltage.As the …
