description

Abstract A new method was developed to determine the size distribution of insoluble particles in e.g., fog water in the particle size range 50 nm p nm. First the water was nebulized and than the droplets dried to form residual aerosol particles. Using a Tandem Differential Mobility Analyser (TDMA), soluble and insoluble particles were separated. The system was calibrated with monodisperse latex particles to determine the loss factor for insoluble particles.
