Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental aerosol measurement, in particular to an instrument capable of measuring the particle size distribution of 3nm-20μm aerosol. Background technique [0002] In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to atmospheric particulate matter pollution, hoping to obtain information on the number concentration and particle size distribution of atmospheric particulate matter. At present, the measurement of the number concentration and particle size distribution of atmospheric particulate matter mainly relies on electrical and optical techniques, and some commercial instruments are already available. However, the particle size span of atmospheric particulate matter is very wide, from a few nanometers to tens of microns, making it difficult to measure the full particle size distribution spectrum (that is, the particle size distribution of 3nm-20μm particles) with one technology. Existing co...

Problems solved by technology

However, the particle size span of atmospheric particulate matter is very wide, from a few nanometers to tens of microns, which makes it difficult for a technique to measure the full particle size distribution spectrum (ie, the particle size distribution of 3nm-20μm particles)

Existing commercial instruments can only obtain a relatively narrow particle size distribution in the nanometer, or submicron, or micron range when measuring the particle size distribution of atmospheric particles, such as the particle size distribution measured by the commonly used aerodynamic particle size spectrometer. The diameter range is about 530nm to 20μm; the particle size range measured by conventional scanning electric mobility particle size spectrometer is about 20nm to 800nm; the particle size range measured by nanoparticle scanning electric mobility particle size spectrometer is about 3nm to 150nm
