Abstract
A semi-dry type method for automatically sampling PM2.5 particles. The method collects an aerosol sample in a dry mode and extracts it in a wet mode to prevent sampling artifacts. In the dry mode, a first stage utilizes carbon brushes as discharge electrodes to charge aerosol particles which are then collected on a cylinder wall by an electric field setup between a high-voltage central metal rod and a grounded cylinder in a second stage. In the wet mode, deionized (DI) water is injected into an electrostatic particle-into-liquid sampler (EPILS) in a pulsation manner by opening and closing solenoid valves intermittently, which dislodges aerosol particles deposited on the cylinder wall effectively to become a liquid aerosol sample. The liquid aerosol sample is then analyzed for chemical compositions automatically.
