Self-consistent equations for ion density, envelope electric fields, and charge variations of dust particles are obtained for a dusty plasma. A new type of modulational instability of Langmuir waves related to dust charging processes is found. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
