The permeation characteristics of the wastewater containing Si fine particles were examined by ultrafiltration using the polyolefin tubular membrane module. Flux with time was due to the growth of Si cake deposited on the membrane surface and the pore plugging by fine particles. The rate of flux decline in the initial stage increased with the trans-membrane pressure. The pore blocking resistance was the dominant resistance at the initial period of filtration and the cake resistance began to dominate with the initial pore blocking resistance. The larger pores compared with the fine particles, the more the membrane pores could be blocked by the fine particles. Before and after treatment, the distribution of particle size was shifted toward to the left. Then, the average size of fine particles in the permeate was 20 nm.

Although Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) in air has been applied to a wider range of aftertreatment processes for HAPs(Hazardous Air Pollutants), due to its high electron density and energy, its potential use as precharging dust particles is not well known. In this work, we measured size distributions of bimodal aerosol particles and estimated collection efficiency of the particles by electrostatic precipitator(ESP) using DBD as particle charger. To examine the particle collection with DBD charger, nano size particles of NaCl($20{\sim}100$ nm) and DOS($50{\sim}800$ nm) were generated by tube furnace and atomizer, respectively. For experimental conditions of 60 Hz, 11 kV, and 60 lpm, the particle collection efficiency for the hybrid system comprising DBD charger and ESP was over 85 %, based on the number of particles captured.

Colloidal particles consisted of individual nanosized magnetite grains on the surface of the silica cores were obtained by two-stage sol-gel technique. Size distribution and microstructure of the particles were analyzed using atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Nitrogen thermal desorption. Magnetic properties of the particles were studied by the method of the longitudinal nonlinear response. It has been shown that nanoparticles of magnetite have a size corresponding to a superparamagnetic state but exhibit hysteresis properties. The phenomenon was explained using the magnetostatic interaction model based on the hypothesis of iron oxide particles cluster aggregation on the silica surface.

As the flying height of a slider in a hard disk drive decreases, the slider and disk are more likely to come in contact and generate contamination particles. Since particle contamination can cause serious problems including thermal asperity, it must be prevented to increase storage capacity. When particles are generated in a HDD, particles can be charged and have a few number of elementary charges. In this paper, the size distribution of particles and electrical current due to particle according to the disk rotational speed were measured. Also, the average number of elementary charges was calculated from experimental data. SEM images of particles were obtained by using a particle sampler designed in our laboratory.

Manufacturing methods of Nano particles can be distinguished by top-down technology as physical method and bottom-up technology as chemical synthetic method. Top-down technology is a kind of method for making microstructure as like carving after forming a macroscopic structure in advance and its typical methods are ball milling, gas condensation method and so on. Nano Particles synthesized by bottom-up method have got to do dispersing process for using them as actual nano particles because their viscosity are very strong and so easy to shape cohesive substances. Therefore, this study is about a particle separating device which separates a certain constant size of grains processed already in mill and mixer because we mostly use media agitating mill as a device of milling and dispersing and we necessarily use very slight balls as media for manufacturing nano particles in the machine. The centrifugal device has been designed for passing and separating below a certain type of grain size after final process of particles in the mill.

Shape and size controlled synthesis of gold particles has been studied by using wet-chemical method. When ${AuCl_4}^-$ in aqueous $HAuCl_4$ precursor was reduced using $Na_2SO_3$ as a reducing agent, mixtures of spherical, triangular and hexagonal particles were prepared in a few minutes. It was found that the shape selective oxidative etching by ${AuCl_4}^-\;+\;Cl^-$ anions and crystal growth took place simultaneously. As the ${AuCl_4}^-$ and $Cl^-$ concentration increased, yields of large triangular and hexagonal plate type particles increased, while the spherical particles decreased in most cases. Possible etching and growth mechanisms are discussed.

The effects of particle size distribution on the magnetorheological response of inverse ferrofluids was investigated using controlled mixtures of two monodisperse non-magnetisable powders of sizes $4.6\;{\mu}m\;and\;80{\mu}m$ at constant volume fraction of 30%, subjected to large amplitude oscillatory shear flow. In the linear viscoelastic regime (pre-yield region), it was found that the storage and loss moduli were dependent on the particle size as well as the proportion of small particles, with the highest storage modulus occurring for the monodisperse small particles. In the nonlinear regime (post yield region), Fourier analysis was used to compare the behaviour of the $1^{st}\;and\;3^{rd}$ harmonics ($I_{1}\;and\;I_{3}\;respectively$) as well as the fundamental phase angle as functions of the applied strain amplitude. The ratio of $I_{3}/I_{1}$ was found to become more pronounced with decreasing particle size as well as with increasing proportion of small particles in the bidisperse mixtures. Furthermore, the phase angle was able to clearly show the transition from solid-like to viscous behaviour. The results suggested that the nonlinear response of a bidisperse IFF is dependent on particle size as well as the proportion of small particles in the system.

Electrical characteristics of soot particles in a LPG diffusion flame were studied for the control of soot particle coagulation. When a DC voltage was applied between two electrodes installed parallel to gas flow, ionic wind effect caused soot deposition on the cathode, implying that most of the soot particles were positively charged. Soot deposit on the cathode linearly increased and was saturated with respect to the strength of the applied voltage. The possibility of applying an AC voltage to enhance the particle coagulation was then investigated and the efficiency of the size control was checked with transmission electron microscope photographs. For the amplitude of 2 kV AC field, primary (spherical) soot particle size decreased from 30 ~ 40 nm to around 20 nm when the frequency of the applied AC voltage was 60 Hz and higher. Collisions between the soot particles in such a selected AC condition could lead to the formation of much bigger agglomerates of roughly 1-5 .mu.m in size.

In this paper, we are proposing a robust tool which is capable of measuring the size and elemental composition of submicron particles from twenty to several hundreds nanometers at the same time, i.e., named Single Particle Mass Spectrometer (SPMS). The home-made SPMS employs a laser ablation/multi-photon ionization method to tear a nanoparticle into the constituent elemental ions. One thing different from the conventional Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (ATOFMS) is the power of the ionization laser. Much strong laser used in this work makes it possible to generate elemental ions rather than molecular ions from a nanoparticle. Also the use of high power laser may guarantee a complete ionization of a particle, which was confirmed by the existence of multiple charged ions. If a particle is evaporated/ionized completely and detected through electric field-free TOF tube without any loss, we can extract the original particle volume from the measured total ion numbers. Collecting a number of particles mass spectra, we get a database of size and elemental composition of nanoparticles, with which we may take a took into any kinds of chemical reaction occurring at nanoscale. Several issues related to size estimation by SPMS will be discussed.
