Cyclone mist eliminators and collectors have virtually the same efficiency for both liquid aerosols and solid particles. To avoid reentrainment of the collected liquid from the walls of the cyclone, an upper limit is set to the tangential velocity that can be used. The maximum tangential velocity should be limited to the inlet velocity. Even at this speed, the liquid film may creep to the edge of the exit pipe, from which the liquid is then reentrained. 

Samples must be introduced into the plasma in an easily vaporized and atomized form. Typically this requires liquid aerosols with droplet diameters less than 10 pm, solid particles 1-5 pm in diameter, or vapors. The sample introduction method strongly influences precision, detection limits, and the sample size required. 

Althoi h nonspectral interference effects are generally less severe in ICP-OES than in GFAA, FAA, or ICPMS, they can occur. In most cases the effects produce less than a 20% error when the sample is introduced as a liquid aerosol. High concentrations (500 ppm or greater) of elements that are highly ionized in the... 

FOG (mists) Liquid aerosols formed either by condensation of a liquid on particulate nodes in air or by uptake of liquid by hygroscopic particles. 

Airborne partieulate matter may eomprise liquid (aerosols, mists or fogs) or solids (dust, fumes). Refer to Figure 5.2. Some eauses of dust and aerosol formation are listed in Table 4.3. In either ease dispersion, by spraying or fragmentation, will result in a eonsiderable inerease in the surfaee area of the ehemieal. This inereases the reaetivity, e.g. to render some ehemieals pyrophorie, explosive or prone to spontaneous eombustion it also inereases the ease of entry into the body. The behaviour of an airborne partiele depends upon its size (e.g. equivalent diameter), shape and density. The effeet of partiele diameter on terminal settling veloeity is shown in Table 4.4. As a result ... 

Pipe-type electrostatic precipitators are used to collect liquid aerosols (e.g., mists and fogs). They are also used in applications which require water flushing of collection electrodes. The diameter of precipitator pipes is typically in the range of 15 0 cm, and the length is in the range of 3-6 m. The number of pipes depends on the total gas flow. The gas-flow rates in pipe-type electro static precipitators is normally much lower than in duct-type precipitators. 

A venturi scrubber is a venturi-shaped air passage with water introduced just ahead of or into the venturi throat. The liquid-gas contact is at a maximum in the venturi throat. The relative velocity between gas and liquid aerosol droplets is high, with the gas velocities in the range of 50-100 m/s. The particles are conditioned in the throat, and condensation is the important collection mechanism. After the particles in the gas have been deposited on droplets, a comparatively simple device such as a cyclone collector can be used to collect the wetted dust. 

The name dust , is used in a variety of ways, and with different meanings. These range from the material that accumulates on the earth s surface, such as on streets and in living and working environments, to the particulate material suspended in the atmosphere. In this paper I wish to consider these two materials in terms of their chemical composition, sources and relationship between them. The names used for the two materials will be surface dust and atmospheric dust . The word aerosol may also be used for atmospheric dust but it more properly applies to the finer particles of atmospheric dust and includes liquid aerosol (i). Botfi surface and atmospheric dusts are increasingly seen to be a hazard to human beings as they are a source of intake of toxic materials such as heavy metals. For this reason study is important of the composition and sources of the dusts.
