Abstract
This paper is a review regarding the theoretical works of nanoparticle's manipulation in electrical field. The nano-sized particles are massively generated in combustion or material synthesis processes are highly toxic to human health. Therefore, their filtration represents an important technological challenge, which makes the object of a very active research. A considerable interest is also shown to the separation of nano-particles in accordance with their physical or chemical characteristics. In this part, the dielectrophoretic, electrohydrodynamic and other forces are presented.
