Development of On-line Instrumentation and Techniques to Detect and Measure Particulates Quarterly Report

In the second quarter of the project, we built the liquid aerosol generator and characterized it. We also constructed and perfected light sources and detection systems. We also designed programs to simulate spherical particle MIE scattering for different wavelengths.

Development of On-line Instrumentation and Techniques to Detect and Measure Particulates Quarterly Report

In the first quarter of the project, we reviewed many past references about using light scattering to characterize particulate matters. We also constructed light sources, detection systems and PM synthesizer for the project.

Development of On-line Instrumentation and Techniques to Detect and Measure Particulates Quarterly Report

In the fourth quarter of the project, we fixed the interference problem of linear CCD array when collecting elastic scattering signal from laser sources. We collected scattering signal of standard samples and also on a wax formation liquid. The results are compared to theoretical results and demonstrate the clear advantages of such technique vs. traditional scattering instrument with enclosures or just transmission type of spectrometers.
