The Effects Of Impurities And Solutes Upon The Charge Transfer Of Droplets
Abstract
The rates of charge transfer of evaporating droplets of radius less than 5 microns have been measured by means of a Millikan Oil Drop apparatus. As the evaporation proceeds, droplets of pure liquids seem to retain their charge at a near constant level, but droplets of liquid dispersions containing some immiscible substances steadily loose charge and droplets of salt solutions gain charge in the first stage of evaporation before they become stabilized. The gain in electric charge observed in solution droplets is attributed to the fact that the positive ions tend to evaporate into the medium in preference to the negative ions as shown by results obtained for droplets containing various salts, such as ammonium chloride, calcium chloride, and aluminum chloride. © 1971, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
