Particle light scattering

Smoke detection depending upon absorption of ionizing radiation by smoke particles light scattering by smoke particles light obscuration. 

The particle light scattering coefficient has been continuously measured at this location since 1976. Measurements of the particle size distribution have been made daily since 1978, providing the data base necessary to assess the variability of the normalized aerosol volume distribution. 

Aerosol sampling instruments were housed in an air conditioned monitoring trailer operated by NWC. The particle light scattering coefficient, bg, was continuously measured with modified MRI Model 1561 integrating nephelometer. The nephelometer automatically zeroed daily and was calibrated quarterly.

When evaluating the results of these measurements one has to remember that a property of the particles (light scattering or the velocity of sedimentation) is determined. With models relying on a number of assumptions (for example that all particles are spherical) and further input (for example the complex index of refraction or the density) the particle size distribution is calculated in the final step. Applying the results of the measurement this and other deviations from the model have to be taken into account. Different measurement techniques usually result in different results for the measurements of particle size distributions.

Light Scattering (LS) performed in surfactant solutions is a very important experimental technique for the study of the size of micelles, polymers and particles. Light scattering in colloidal/micro-heterogeneous systems occurs due to differences in refractive index across the sample. The scattered intensity depends on four factors, as follows ...
