18、ear theoryiv ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS ISO 20998-2:2013ISO 20998-2:2013(E)IntroductionIt is well known that ultrasonic spectroscopy can be used to measure particle size distribution (PSD) in colloids, dispersions, and emulsions (References 1234). The basic concept is to measure the frequency-de
19、pendent attenuation or velocity of the ultrasound as it passes through the sample. The attenuation spectrum is affected by scattering or absorption of ultrasound by particles in the sample, and it is a function of the size distribution and concentration of particles (References 567). Once this relat
20、ionship is established by empirical observation or by theoretical calculations, one can estimate the PSD from the ultrasonic data. Ultrasonic techniques are useful for dynamic online measurements in concentrated slurries and emulsions.Traditionally, such measurements have been made off-line in a qua
21、lity control lab, and constraints imposed by the instrumentation have required the use of diluted samples. By making in-process ultrasonic measurements at full concentration, one does not risk altering the dispersion state of the sample. In addition, dynamic processes (such as flocculation, dispersi
22、on, and comminution) can be observed directly in real time (Reference 8). These data can be used in process control schemes to improve both the manufacturing process and the product performance.ISO 20998 consists of two parts: 20998-1 introduces the terminology, concepts, and procedures for measurin
23、g ultrasonic attenuation spectra; 20998-2 provides guidelines for determining particle size information from the measured spectra for cases where the spectrum is a linear function of the particle volume fraction.A further part addressing the determination of particle size for cases where the spectru
24、m is not a linear function of volume fraction is planned.

25、opy methods for determining the size distributions of a particulate phase dispersed in a liquid at dilute concentrations, where the ultrasonic attenuation spectrum is a linear function of the particle volume fraction. In this regime, particleparticle interactions are negligible. Colloids, dilute dis
26、persions, and emulsions are within the scope of this part of ISO 20998. The typical particle size for such analysis ranges from 10 nm to 3 mm, although particles outside this range have also been successfully measured. For solid particles in suspension, size measurements can be made at concentration
27、s typically ranging from 0,1 % volume fraction up to 5 % volume fraction, depending on the density contrast between the solid and liquid phases, the particle size, and the frequency range.NOTE See References 910.For emulsions, measurements may be made at much higher concentrations. These ultrasonic
28、methods can be used to monitor dynamic changes in the size distribution.While it is possible to determine the particle size distribution from either the attenuation spectrum or the phase velocity spectrum, the use of attenuation data alone is recommended. The relative variation in phase velocity due
29、 to changing particle size is small compared to the mean velocity, so it is often difficult to determine the phase velocity with a high degree of accuracy, particularly at ambient temperature. Likewise, the combined use of attenuation and velocity spectra to determine the particle size is not recomm
30、ended. The presence of measurement errors (i.e. “noise”) in the magnitude and phase spectra can increase the ill-posed nature of the problem and reduce the stability of the inversion.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and a
