일반적으로 다단 임팩터는 대기 에어로졸의 입경별 질량농도분포를 측정하는데 많이 사용되고 있다. 임팩터는 입자의 관성을 이용하여 기류로부터 입자를 분리하므로, 0.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하인 미세 입자의 경우 관성력이 작아 보통의 임팩터로는 입자를 분리하는데 어려움이 있다. 미세 입자에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 저압(low pressure)이나 미세 오리피스(micro-orifice)를 사용하여 미세 입자를 분류할 수 있는 임팩터가 개발되어 사용되고 있다. (중략)

1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 환경 나노입자는 대표적인 대기오염물질로 알려져 있고, 대기환경뿐만 아니라 호흡기 장애나 암을 유발시키는 등 인체에도 나쁜 영향을 미친다. 그러므로, 공기 중에 부유하는 환경 나노입자의 측정 및 평가는 매우 중요하다. 최근에는 대기 에어로졸의 입경별 질량농도분포 측정에 다단 임팩터가 널리 사용되고 있으며, 신뢰할 수 있는 데이터를 얻기 위해서는 임팩터의 입자채취 특성을 정확히 파악해야 한다.(지준호 등, 2001) 이러한 임팩터는 입자의 관성을 이용하여 입자크기를 분류하므로 주로 크기가 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이상인 조대입자의 분류에 사용되었으나, 최근 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 나노입자에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 저압이나 미세 오리피스를 사용하여 미세입자를 분류할 수 있는 임팩터가 개발되어 널리 사용되고 있다.

다단 임팩터는 수십 나노미터에서 수십 마이크로미터 크기의 대기 에어로졸의 입경분포를 측정하는 장비로 사용되어 왔다. 최근에는 전기적 임팩터가 개발되어 기존 다단임팩터의 문제점인 운전이 번거롭고, 측정시간이 오래 걸리는 단점을 보완하였다. 전기적 임팩터는 실시간으로 에어로졸의 크기분포를 측정할 수 있으므로, 대기환경 모니터링, 디젤 자동차에서 배출되는 입자상 물질(PM, particulate matter)의 측정, 대기오염 방시시설을 구비한 공장, 발전소, 소각로 등의 PM 모니터링 시스템 등에 응용될 수 있다.(중략)

가상임펙터(virtual impactor)는 충돌판을 가지고 있는 관성임팩터(inertial impactor)와는 다르게 분리입경보다 큰 입자를 분리할 수 있는 부 유동과 분리입경보다 작은 입자를 분리할 수 있는 주 유동으로 나누어져서 입자의 튀김(bouncing)이나 재비산(reentrainment) 없이 입자를 분리 또는 농축할 수 있다. 하지만 관성임팩터처럼 여러 단을 연결하여 작은 입자를 분리할 수 없기 때문에 주로 큰 입자의 분리 및 농축에 쓰여왔다. (중략)

A low pressure impactor is an impaction device to separate airborne particles into aerodynamic size classes at low pressure condition. We designed a two-stage low-pressure impactor to classify submicron sized environmental aerosols. Performance evaluation was carried out for stages 1 and 2 by using an electrical method. Monodisperse liquid dioctyl sebacate (DOS) particles were generated using evaporation-condensation process followed by electrostatic classification using a DMA (differential mobility analyzer). The test particles were in the range of 0.08∼0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$. For the evaluation of the impactor we used two electrometers; one was connected to the impaction plate of the impactor and the other was to the Faraday cage used as a backup filter. The effect of polydispersity of test aerosols on the performance was investigated. The results showed that the experimental 50-% cutoff diameters at each impactor's operation pressure were 0.53 and 0.187$\mu\textrm{m}$ for stages 1 and stage 2, respectively. The effects of operation pressure on the cutoff diameter and the steepness of collection efficiency curves were also investigated.

An electrical cascade impactor is a multistage impaction device to separate airborne particles into aerodynamic size classes using electrical method. We designed a real-time three-stage electrical low-pressure impactor, which is proper to nanometer sized environmental aerosols. Performance evaluation was carried out for stage 1 and 2. The monodisperse liquid dioctyl sebacate (DOS) particles were generated using condensation-evaporation followed by electrostatic classification using DMA (differential mobility analizer) for particles with diameters in the range of $0.04{\sim}0.8{\mu}m$. The evaluation of the electrical impactor is based on the use of two electrometers, one connected to the impaction plate of the impactor, and the other to the faraday cage as backup filter. The results showed that the experimental 50% cutoff diameters in the operation pressure were 0.53 and $0.12{\mu}m$ for stage 1 and stage 2. The effect of operation pressure on the cutoff diameter and the steepness of collection effcieicy curves is investigated.

Cascade impactors are widely used to collect size classified aerosol. A major disadvantage of this instrument is the required long sampling time. Electrical low pressure impactor has been developed to overcome this disadvantage and to achieve real-time measurements on the particle size distribution. The instrument consists primarily of a corona charger, low pressure cascade impactor and multi channel electrometer. We designed and evaluated the performance of a potable 3-stage low pressure impactor using an electrical method. For the calibration of the impactor, monodispersed particles were generated using evaporation-condensation method followed by electrostatic classification using a DMA(Differential Mobility Analyzer). The collection efficiency curves of the stages can be determined by analysing the fraction of particles collected by each stage.

With a diode corona charger, which is a component of ELPI(Electrical Low Pressure Impactor), aerosol particles are charged to make electrical detection possible before they are collected by the impactor. We designed and evaluated two cylindrical corona chargers, each of which had a central corona needle electrode. For the performance evaluation of each corona charger the polydisperse dioctyl sebacate(DOS) particles, with diameters of 0.1∼0.8 $\mu$m and NaCl particles, smaller than 0.1$\mu$m, were used. The particles were then led through an electrostatic classifier (TSI model 3081) to classify monodisperse aerosol with minimal size deviation. After evaluating the wall loss of the particles in the corona charger, we measured the product of penetration and number of charges, Pㆍn, to evaluate the corona charger efficiency at high positive voltages of 4, 5, 6 kV.

The characteristics of atmospheric aerosols were investigated as a function of particle size and water solubility. The atmospheric aerosols were sampled with classifying into 12 size ranges by the use of Andersen low-pressure impactor. Collected aerosol particles were extracted by ultrapure water and filtered to be separated into water-soluble and insoluble components. The concentrations 12 elements in both components were determined by PIXE analysis. And the concentrations of 8 ions in the soluble component were analyzed by ion chromatography. In general, the mass size distribution of particulate matter was represented as a bimodal distribution. The mass size distributions of S$(SO_4^{2-}), K(K^+), Zn and NH_4^+$ skewed to the smaller size range and those of Si, Ca$(Ca^{2+}), Fe, Na^+ and Mg^{2+}$ skewed to the larger size range. They had roughly one peak in the fine and coarse particle region,respectively. On the other hand, the mass size distribution of Ti, Mn, Ni, Cu, $Cl^- and NO_3^-$ were represented as the bimodal distribution. Fe and Si in the aerosol particles extracted into pure water are existing in high insoluble state. Conversely, almost the whole of S is dissolved in water.

To estimate dry deposition flux of 12 elements in aerosols, aerosol particles were sampled by a low-pressure impactor(LPI) and a dust jar. The concentrations of 12 elements in aerosol particle and dry deposition were analyzed by a PIXE analysis using as a 2.0 MeV-proton beam. The mean dry deposition velocities of 12 elements were estimated by ranges of 0.74∼2.62 cm/sec. The results showed that the highest value was 3.26 cm/sec for Ca and the lowest value 0.74 cm/sec for Fe. The dry deposition flux for elements was calculated as a function of particle size by 1-step method and 12-step method. In this work, dry deposition velocities were computed with the two existing models; the coarse-particle fraction(4∼30 mm diameter) using the dry deposition velocity model of the Noll and Fang(1998) and the fine-particle fraction (0.05∼4mm diameter) using the Shemel and Hodgson(1980) model. The ratios of the mean calculated/measured fluxes were 3.59 for 1-step method and 0.60 for 12-step method respectively.
