5-6 Model 3076 Constant Output Atomizer
Dispersing Polystyrene Latex Particles
A common method of generating monodisperse aerosol is to atomize
a hydrosol that contains monodisperse solid particles such as
polystyrene latex (PSL).
Mix a few drops of PSL with a liter of water and test the aerosol
output concentration. If the concentration is too low, add a few
more drops of PSL. However, proceed slowly and thoroughly mix
the PSL since each droplet of concentrated PSL has a high number
of particles.
Dispersing Solid Particles
Nonsoluble submicrometer particles, such as carbon black, have
been successfully dispersed using this Atomizer [6]. The complete
configuration is shown in Figure 5-6.
