A system for removing dust from exhaust gas, comprising a dust removing system inlet, a dust removing system outlet, and an electric field apparatus (1021). The electric field apparatus (1021) comprises an electric field apparatus inlet, an electric field apparatus outlet, a dust-removing electric field cathode (10212) and a dust-removing electric field anode (10211).
