Abstract
Magnetic fluid is stable colloidal dispersion including magnetic nano particles in a carrier fluid such as water and Kerosene. Magnetic fluid spikes are formed by magnetic field. In this paper, a novel discharge device using the magneitc spikes for air pollution control was developed. The magnetic spikes were applied as an innovative fluidic electrode controlled by magnetic field. The concentrated electric field at spike results in the discharge above tips of the spikes and the induced flow of magnetic fluid. The discharge and the interface behavior were investigated experimentally. The cleaning ability of the device was evaluated by measuring ozone production and ozone production efficiency.
