20、vIntroduction Differential electrical mobility classification and analysis of airborne particles has been widely used to measure a variety of aerosol particles ranging from nanometre-size to micrometre-size in the gas phase. In addition, the electrical mobility classification of charged particles ca
21、n be used to generate mono-disperse particles of known size for calibration of other instruments. One notable feature of these techniques is that they are based on simple physical principles. The techniques have become important in many fields of aerosol science and technology, e.g. aerosol instrume
22、ntation, production of materials from aerosols, contamination control in the semiconductor industry, atmospheric aerosol science, characterization of engineered nanoparticles, and so on. However, in order to use electrical mobility classification and analysis correctly, several issues, such as the s
23、lip correction factor, the ion-aerosol attachment coefficients, the size-dependent charge distribution on aerosol particles and the method used for inversion of the measured mobility distribution to the aerosol size distribution, need due caution. There is, therefore, a need to establish an Internat
24、ional Standard for the use of differential electrical mobility analysis for classifying aerosol particles. Its purpose is to provide a methodology for adequate quality control in particle size and number concentration measurement with this method. BS ISO 15900:2009BS ISO 15900:2009INTERNATIONAL STAN
25、DARD ISO 15900:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved 1Determination of particle size distribution Differential electrical mobility analysis for aerosol particles 1 Scope This International Standard provides guidelines on the determination of aerosol particle size distribution by means of the analysis
26、 of electrical mobility of aerosol particles. This measurement is usually called “differential electrical mobility analysis for aerosol particles”. This analytical method is applicable to particle size measurements ranging from approximately 1 nm to 1 m. This International Standard does not address
27、the specific instrument design or the specific requirements of particle size distribution measurements for different applications, but includes the calculation method of uncertainty. In this International Standard, the complete system for carrying out differential electrical mobility analysis is ref
28、erred to as DMAS (differential mobility analysing system), while the element within this system that classifies the particles according to their electrical mobility is referred to as DEMC (differential electrical mobility classifier).
