The influence of carrier solutions on particle retention was studied by varying surfactants and ionic strength in flow field-flow fractionation. Experiments were made with five different submicron polystyrene latex standards at three different types of surfactants and seven different ionic strengths. Departures in particle retention from the general theory were observed. At low ionic strength, it is shown that migrating sample zone is clearly lifted away from the ideal equilibrium height and that the repulsive interaction dominates between the particle and the channel wall. As ionic strength increases up to a certain level, particle retention becomes closer to the general theory. Further increase in ionic strength is shown to prolong the retention. An optimum regime of ionic strength is also suggested with the proper choice of surfactants.

We carried out the experiments on particle deposition onto the cleanroom wall panels. And then we investigated the particle deposition characteristic coefficients for electrostatic voltages and particle size. It was found that there is little difference in characteristics of the particle deposition between the steel panel and the anti-static coating panel. In case of that the particle size is under $1.0{\mu}m$, the particle deposition characteristic coefficient becomes larger as the electrostatic voltage induced to the cleanroom wall panel is increasing. Where in case of that the particle size is over $3.0{\mu}m$, the particle deposition characteristic coefficients do not show any differences with the electrostatic voltages. It is due to that the electrostatic force is the major particle transport mechanism for submicron particles, while the gravitational settling is the major particle transport mechanism for overmicron particles when the electro-static voltages are induced to the cleanroom wall panel.

To understand the effect of aerosols on the growth and physiological conditions of trees in forests, it is important to know the state of aerosols that are deposited on the surface of the leaves or needles. In this study, we developed methods of visualization of submicron-sized aerosols that were artificially deposited from the gas-phase or liquid phase onto tree leaves or needles in trees. Firstly, we used field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) to observe black carbon (BC) particles that were artificially sprayed onto the leaves or needles. The distribution of BC particles deposited on the leaves and needles were distinguished based on the size and morphological features of the particles. The distribution and agglomerates size of BC particles differed between two spraying methods of BC particles employed. Secondly, we tried to visualize gold (Au) particles that were artificially sprayed onto the leaves using energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) coupled to FE-SEM. We detected the Au particles based on the characteristic X-ray spectrum, which was secondarily generated from the Au particles. In contrast to the case of BC particles, the Au particles did not form agglomerates and were uniformly distributed on the leaf surfaces. The present results show that our methods provide useful information of adsorption and/or behavior of fine particles at the submicron level on the surface of the leaves.

음이온개시제인 $K_2S_2O_8$ (KPS)와 양이온개시제인 2,2' azobis(2-methyl-propionamidine) dihydrochloride (AIBA)를 이용하여 MMA와 BMA 단량체간의 무유화공중합을 성공적으로 수행하여 PSD가 1.002~1.008인 단분산성이 우수한 poly(BMA-co-MMA)와 PBMA 라텍스들을 제조하였다. 실험결과, 160~494 nm 범위의 수평균입자경과 (1.25~7.55) ${\times}10^4$ 범위의 수평균분자량을 나타내었다. MMA/BMA 유화중합에 따르는 중합속도와 단량체 및 개시제 농도, DVB/EGDMA 가교제 농도, 중합온도 변화에 따르는 수평균입자경과 수평균분자량의 영향을 조사하였다. MMA/BMA 단량체 중 MMA 농도가 증가함에 따라 중합속도가 증가하였으며 일반적으로 이들 라텍스의 평균입자경과 평균분자량은 MMA/BMA 단량체중량비, 단량체량, 개시제량, 중합온도에 따라 쉽게 조절됨을 발견하였다.

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.

This paper reports on the charge distribution measurements of submicron particles for three different charging mechanisms, which are spray electrification, bipolar ionization and corona discharge process, respectively. The number of elementary charges per particle was investigated by classifying and counting of a discrete mobility class. Charge distribution measurements were performed with NaCl particles generated from a collision atomizer for 0.01, 0.1, 1% NaCl solutions. Experimental results show than charge level of atomized NaCl particles is high and decreases with increasing the dissolved ion concentration. The charge level of the atomized NaCl particles can be reduced to that o Boltzmann equilibrium conditions by the bipolar ionization(Po(sup)210 bipolar ionizer). The charge level on NaCl particles passing through the corona discharge reactor is much higher than those of atomized or bipolar ionized NaCl particles. The evaluation of these measurements results in charge distribution of the submicron particles.

Preparation and heavy metal ion adsorption of sumicron hydroxy apatite were studied in this experiment. Submicron HAP was synthesized with Ca(OH)2 solution and H3PO4.Ca(OH)2 solution was made from water-quenching of CaCO3 heated at 1, 00$0^{\circ}C$ and 20%-H3PO4 was dropped into this Ca(OH)2 solution heated at 8$0^{\circ}C$. XRD pattern of prepared powder showed HAP crystal. The average particle size and sahpe of HAP were 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and sphere type. As a adsorbent, 1.0g of the prepared HAP powder in 1 liter of artifical 5ppm heavy matal waste water was sufficient, and more effective at pH7-9.

This study has been performed to develop an efficient electrocharged scrubber. To improve collection efficiency of the scrubber, electric-charger was installed at the forefront of the packed crossflow scrubbers, and an experiment of changing discharge electrode shape and fluctuating electric field strength was undertaken. After using a light-oil boiler for generation of particles in the about 80% weight of submicron size particles was exhausted. Collection characteristics of the electrocharged scrubber were similar to those of two-stage electrostatic precipitator. In this study the collection efficiency of submicron size particles has been much improved, compared with the previous ones. In an experiment of changing discharge electrode and electric field strength, a needle-spike shape wire electrode showed a higher collection efficiency than round shape wire. The collection efficiency becomes increased with an increase of electric field strength.

Stability and formation of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) phase synthesized in Li2SO4-Na2SO4 molten salts have been investigated. And powder characteristics of PMN have been studied with a variation of processing parameters such as temperature, time, amount of the salts, and excess PbO. More ratio of Li2SO4 to Na2SO4 influences the percentage of perovskite phase due to the difference of the eutectic point of the salts, but does not influence the powder characteristics. The shape of PMN particles shows faceted morphology with bimodal distribution consisting with large and submicron parts. Particle size of PMN increased greatly with increasing soaking time or amount of salts rather than temperature. The addition of excess PbO resulted in round PMN crystallites without submicron particles. These results are discussed by XRD, SEM and thermal analyses.

The main object of this study was to investigate experimentally the characteristics of electrostatic cyclone-bag filter with upper tangential inlet in order to overcome the low collection efficiency for the submicron particle and high pressure drop which were main problems of general fabric bag filters. The experiment was carried out for the analysis of collection efficiency and pressure drop of electrostatic cyclone-bag filter comparing to those of fabric bag filter with various experimental parameters such as the inlet velocity(filtration velocity) and applied voltage etc. In the results the upper tangential inlet type showed higher collection efficiency for submicron particles below 2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter than that of center inlet and over 99.9% for overall collection efficiency. Pressure drop reduction ratios were shown as 40-50% for the applied voltage 0kV by centrifugal force and 70-90% for 20k V by the centrifuga and electrostatic force with the tangential inlet velocity (12-21m/s)
