NEW METHOD FOR COLLECTING DUST USING ELECTROSTATIC FORCE

A method for collecting dust by depositing it on a tunnel wall making use of electrostatic force is presented. This device is proved to be effective to remove every dusts (drilling, blasting, mucking, dry shotcrete, carbons of ultra-fine particles) produced in the tunnel. It is believed that this device will make a great contribution to health of workers and the improvement of working efficiency due to the increase of sight distance during tunnel excavation.
