Abstract

The effects of nebulization conditions on the size characteristics of the aqueous aerosol produced have been investigated for a cross-flow nebulizer. It is shown that the nebulizer gas flow rate does not affect the upper limit mean sizes of the aqueous droplets transported from the nebulization chamber but that the mean size of the analyte-containing aerosol itself is affected. Model equations are presented descriptive of the effects of gas flow rate and analyte concentrations on analyte aerosol size characteristics.
