Patent ID: 7311824

Claim:
A fine particle treatment system comprising: a storage tank for storing a solution having fine particles contained therein, the storage tank comprising a solution inlet and a solution outlet; a cyclone separator for separating the fine particles from the solution, the cyclone separator comprising a fluid inlet for accepting the fluid having fine particles from the storage tank solution outlet, a body portion for separating the particles from the solution by centrifugal force, a fluid outlet for discharging the solution from the cyclone separator and a particle outlet for discharging the separated particles from the cyclone separator; fluid circulation means for introducing the solution having fine particles from the storage tank solution outlet into the cyclone separator fluid inlet and bringing the cyclone separator fluid outlet into fluid communication with the storage tank solution inlet; and a particle trap box for receiving the separated particles discharged from the cyclone separator particle outlet through a communication hole and attached thereto, the particle trap comprising an electrode rod disposed at the center thereof and a second electrode for applying a potential therebetween and remove impurity ions by electrophoresis.
