INFLUENCE OF SURFACE-ACTIVE SUBSTANCES ON THE COAGULATION OF AEROSOLS

Abstract

Vapors of extraneous substances when present in air cause a complication in aerosol processes which so far has not been studied, in spite of the practical and theoretical importance of the question. The aerosols studied were in very heavy concentrations and were produced directly in the 'previously prepared' vapors of the surface-active substances. The dispersions of the aerosols was in most cases measured by sedimentation tests. The effect of phenol and oleic acid vapors on the coagulation of oil-fog and stearic acid aerosols was studied. The aerosols were produced by thermal condensation in apparatus which we constructed especially for the purpose.
