how does electrostatic dust precipitator removes charged particles from sulphur dioxide

Long time lurker here.
An electrostatis dust percipitator works to remove smoke and another dust particles from gas exhaust from factories. It passes the exhaust through a mesh that is positivly/negatively charged, causing the dust particles to become "ditto" charged. The gas is then passed through a pipe with opposite charged walls.
As the dust is charged, and opposites attract, the dust is attracted to the walls.
As far as I remember, that's all we need to know.
