Abstract: | Hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation (HF FlFFF) was applied for the separation and size characterization of airborne particles which were collected in a municipal area and prefractionated into four different-diameter intervals >5.0, 2.5-5.0, 1.5-2.5, <1.5 microm) by continuous split-flow thin (SPLIIT) fractionation. Experiments demonstrated the possibility of utilizing a hollow-fiber module for the high-performance separation of supramicron-sized airborne particles at steric/hyperlayer operating mode of HF FlFFF. Eluting particles during HF FlFFF separation were collected at short time intervals (approximately 10 s) for the microscopic examination. It showed that particle size and size distributions of all SPLITT fractions of airborne particles can be readily obtained using a calibration and that HF FlFFF can be utilized for the size confirmation of the sorted particle fraction during SPLITT fractionation. |
