Contemporary techniques to measure aerosol light absorption continue to suffer from systematic errors and biases that are difficult to quantify. Photoacoustic spectrometry offers a first-principles approach for <em>in-situ</em> measurement of aerosol light absorption. The photoacoustic effect takes place when particles are illuminated by an amplitude-modulated laser, whereupon the particles absorb some amount of incident laser beam energy. Most of the absorbed energy, typically, is released to the surrounding gas as heat, creating pressure waves (sound) of an intensity proportional to that of the modulated laser power. These pressure waves are detected using a sensitive acoustic sensor in real time. This tutorial outlines the working principle of a basic photoacoustic spectrometer (PAS) from a fundamental standpoint, and elucidates its construction by taking into consideration the different design constraints and optical configurations. Methods for data acquisition and signal processing are explained in detail. The tutorial concludes with a brief discussion on PAS calibration techniques, determination of the instrument’s limit of detection, and the intrinsic limitations of the technology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Science","volume":"185 ","pages":"Article 106518"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of the electric field generated by constant and pulsed voltages at various frequencies applied to the electrostatic rotary bell sprayer (ERBS) with the control ring are explored. Using the OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics framework, the simulations employ a three-dimensional Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The implemented algorithm models fully turbulent airflow using a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach, along with detailed modeling of spray dynamics, electric fields, and droplet tracking. The primary objective is to investigate the influence of different voltage application modes on the spraying process, with a focus on optimizing droplet consistency and control. The impacts of constant and pulsed voltages on spray plume formation, droplet volumes, and critical spraying stages are examined. Through in-depth analysis of electric field distributions, interface charge densities, and velocity fields, the complex interactions governing pulsed and constant voltage spraying processes are elucidated. The results show that pulsed voltage applied to the control ring shapes the spray plume and alters droplet behavior, though with limited effectiveness. In contrast, applying a pulsed voltage of −40 kV<sub>rms</sub> to the sprayer’s body cup at frequencies of 800 Hz and 1600 Hz significantly improves spray characteristics, resulting in a modified torus shape and a narrower size range of larger droplets compared to constant voltage condition of −40 kV. This leads to a more uniform droplet size distribution, consistent paint film, and minimal overspray. Consequently, transfer efficiency (TE) increases by 6% at 800 Hz and 4.8% at 1600 Hz compared to constant voltage. This indicates that 800 Hz is the optimal frequency for applying pulsed fields, due to its notable effectiveness in improving deposition efficiency and minimizing material waste.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Science","volume":"184 ","pages":"Article 106491"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142748600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Eulerian-Lagrangian model was used to simulate the gas flow, particle in-flight behavior, as well as particle deposition characteristics on a flat substrate. Three common nozzle geometries in AD were utilized: a converging-diverging nozzle with a slit cross-section (CD-Slit), a converging-barrel nozzle with a slit cross-section (CB-Slit), and a converging-diverging round (CD-Round) nozzle. Moreover, suitable drag coefficient and Nusselt number correlations were used to account for compressibility and rarefaction effects on particle dynamics and heat transfer.

Its potential for measuring the specific surface area of an aerosol is put forward. SHG is a Non Linear Optical phenomenon that is typically used in biosciences and fundamental physics and has shown to have large potential for the investigation of surface sensitive phenomena. It exists in two forms, coherent SHG and incoherent SHG, also named Hyper Rayleigh Scattering (HRS). While applications on particles in solution or organic molecules located on the surface of droplets exist, the SHG naturally induced by solid nanoparticles in aerosol phase without any SHG enhancing additive has neither been detected nor quantified yet. The present work aims at narrowing this gap by exposing a jet of well-characterized nanoaerosols to a femtosecond laser featuring high peak pulse energies allowing to induce NLO phenomena. The experiments are carried out in an innovative optical setup allowing to analyse the NLO response resolved in time, wavelength and angle, thus having the capability to isolate SHG from other phenomena, such as laser filamentation. The optical setup was calibrated in order to quantify the generated signal power and optimized in order to have a high sensitivity and in order to avoid NLO generation from its own optical elements. The results confirm that soot particles, as well as DEHS droplets and arc generated carbon nanoparticles, feature SHG at intensities that are more than 7 orders of magnitude smaller than that of static light scattering. SHG depends in particular on aggregate and/or monomer size. On the other hand, SHG induced by soot does not seem to depend on the organic or elementary carbon content. The experiments also show that the detected NLO signal increases linearly with particle surface area, independently of the particle shape or composition. Finally, the angular response of NLO signal is fundamentally different from that of linear scattering. Due to the isotropic nature of the angular response, the observed SHG signal is probably non-coherent and thus related to Hyper Raleigh Scattering. These findings show the potential of non-linear optics, in particular to quantify in situ the specific surface of an aerosol. Giving access to this information which is crucial in the evaluation of toxicity of aerosols, the present work can thus give way to a new class of laser based diagnostics for aerosols.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Science","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 106484"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142592554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These activities are typically carried out inside industrial facilities during the manufacturing process, as well as outdoors and in residential indoor spaces during the installation phase, where mitigation measures are seldom implemented. This work aimed to understand the particle formation and release mechanisms, as well as particle properties (physical, chemical, and toxicological) and potential impacts on human health and the environment, for particles generated during ceramic tile rotary dry cutting operations. Aerosols were characterised in terms of particle number and mass concentrations, chemical composition, morphology and <em>in vitro</em> cytotoxicity. Two types of commercially available and representative tiles were tested in controlled chamber experiments: porous and non-porous ceramic body tiles (referred to in this work as A and B types, respectively). Results evidenced the release of fine particles and NPs during dry cutting of both materials, in comparable concentrations (20.000–45.000/cm<sup>3</sup>, 1-min average). However, the particle size distribution was significantly finer from A tiles (70% of the particle number concentration was nanosized (&lt;100 nm)) in comparison to B tiles (&lt;20%). While airborne particle chemical profiles were similar for both types of materials in the coarser size fractions (&gt;0.6 μm), in the smaller size fractions (&lt;0.6 μm) larger differences were observed. The chemical composition of airborne aerosols was consistent with that of the deposited dust. <em>In vitro</em> cytotoxicity responses evidenced statistically significant differences between exposure to aerosols from both types of tiles: cell viability was lower after exposure to aerosols from A tiles (50% at the original concentration) compared to those from B tiles, which exhibited high cell viability regardless of the aerosol concentration. Overall, results evidenced NP formation and release during rotary dry cutting of ceramic tiles, varying physical-chemical and cytotoxic profiles as a function of the material being processed, and highlight this activity as a potential health hazard in scenarios where prevention and mitigation measures are not implemented.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Science","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 106485"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
