The present invention relates to an electrostatic precipitator (10) for introducing sub-millimeter sized particles (40) into a carrier material, wherein the carrier material has a melting point which lies above 0°C, preferably above room temperature, wherein the electrostatic precipitator (10) comprises a casing (12) having an inlet (14) for inserting a gas flow into the casing (12) and having an outlet (18) for guiding a gas flow out of the casing (12), wherein a channel (22) for passing the gas flow from the inlet (14) to the outlet (18) is provided between the inlet (14) and the outlet (18), wherein a discharge electrode (28) is provided on a first side of the channel (22) and wherein a collecting electrode (32) is provided at a second side of at least a part of the channel (22), the second side being located opposite to the first side such, that the electrostatic precipitator (10) is adapted for applying an electric field between the discharge electrode (28) and the collecting electrode (32), wherein adjacent to the collecting electrode (32) and between the collecting electrode (32) and at least a part of the channel (22), a receiving volume (36) is provided, wherein located in the receiving volume (36) is a molten material (38) as carrier material, wherein the carrier material has a melting point which lies above 0°C, preferably above room temperature.
