Abstract

The invention concerns an electrostatic ionic emission device (1) for depositing on the surface (sp) of a plurality of particles (p1, p2, , pn) aerosols within a fluid (F), a quasi-homogeneous amount of ions (I~q). The device (1) comprises a discharge corona conductive electrode (EC), and a non-corona conductive receptor electrode (ER). The pseudo-planar active surface (SA) of its receptor electrode (ER) is covered with a quasi-uniformly distributed plurality of sharp-edged craters, enclosed by a pseudo-circle, having on their end edges (Ai) a section with minimum bend radius, and enclosing orifices (O1, O2, , On), emerging outwards of the active surface (SA). Said sharp-edged craters are quasi-uniformly distributed on the active surface (SA), in both its geometrical directions. The surface flow of ions (I~q) derived from the corona electrode (EC) towards the active surface of the receptor electrode (ER) has increased homogeneity. Preferably, the receptor electrode (ER) is produced by means of an array (R'xyz) of metal fins.
