Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for electrostatically precipitating suspended matter from a gas flow, wherein a precipitation electrode which is flown through by the gas flow is provided in the form of a perforated plate behind an ionization source in the direction of flow. The perforated plate has openings which are tapered on their edges in the manner of cutting edges towards the opening.
