Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of an idealized high-gradient dielectrophoretic separator that is simply a metal circular filament placed in a uniform electric field between two parallel plates. The analysis is aimed at determining the spatial distribution of the electric field inside the volume of the separator, and hence, the dielectrophoretic force on a dielectric particle can be evaluated. The conditions necessary for producing dielectrophoretic forces comparable with those in electrostatic separators are determined.
