To improve the filtration efficiency of submicron dust by dual-layer granular bed filters, filtration experiments for micro-silica powder were conducted for removing particles smaller than 1 μm that account for more than 96% (by volume) using a dual-layer granular bed filter with an external electric field. Electrostatic enhancement methods, including dust pre-charging, application of an electric field to the lower filter layer, and that to both the upper and lower filter layers, were examined. Results showed that the average filtration efficiency of a dual-layer granular bed filter for micro-silica powder without electric field was 76.52%, the average outlet dust concentration was 263.53 mg/m³, and the filtration cycle time was 73 min. With pre-charged dust, the average outlet dust concentration dropped to 82.51 mg/m³. A decrease in the thickness of the lower filter layer from 45 to 25 mm with electric field reduced the pressure drop from 2570 to 1770 Pa. Meanwhile, the application of an electric field to the lower/upper filter layer reduced the average outlet dust concentration to 25.98 mg/m³. Increasing the initial face velocity from 0.25 to 0.45 m/s increased the average outlet dust concentration from 25.98 to 30.27 mg/m³ and increased the pressure drop from 2570 to 3500 Pa.
