## Abstract

A collecting electrode for use in wet electrostatic precipitators, the collecting electrode being fabricated from an electrically-conductive, corrosion resistant and temperature and spark resistant composite material comprising carbon fiber and thermosetting resin so as to pro\ the collecting electrode with an improved arc resistance, as dictated by erosion density and direction, by controlling the weave pattern and/or fabric thickness of the carbon fibers.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A collecting electrode for a wet electrostatic precipitator comprises of an electrically-conductive, corrosion resistant and temperature and spark resistant composite material comprising carbon fiber in a cross-linked thermosetting resin, wherein erosion direction and density on the electrode is controlled.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The collecting electrode of claim 1 wherein the control of the erosion density and direction are controlled by the weave pattern and/or fabric thickness of the carbon fibers.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The collecting electrode of claim 1 wherein the carbon fibers are woven in a 2×2 twill arrangement.
