This paper proposes a laser scattering centrifugal liquid sedimentation (LS-CLS) method for the accurate quantitative analysis of the mass-based size distributions of colloidal silica. The optics comprised a laser diode light source and multi-pixel photon-counting detector for detecting scattered light intensity. The unique optics can only detect the light scattered by a sample through the interception of irradiated light. The developed centrifugal liquid sedimentation (CLS) method comprised a light-emitting diode and silicon photodiode detector for detecting transmittance light attenuation. The CLS apparatus could not accurately measure quantitative volume- or mass-based size distribution of poly-dispersed suspensions, such as colloidal silica, because the detecting signal includes both transmitted and scattered light. The LS-CLS method exhibited improved quantitative performance. Moreover, the LS-CLS system allowed the injection of samples with concentrations higher than that permitted by other particle size distribution measurement systems with particle size classification units using size-exclusion chromatography or centrifugal field-flow fractionation. The proposed LS-CLS method achieved an accurate quantitative analysis of the mass-based size distribution using both centrifugal classification and laser scattering optics. In particular, the system could measure the mass-based size distribution of approximately 20 mg mL poly-dispersed colloidal silica samples, such as in a mixture of the four mono-dispersed colloidal silica, with high resolution and precision, thereby demonstrating high quantitative performance. The measured size distributions were compared with those observed through transmission electron microscopy. The proposed system can be used in practical setups to achieve a reasonable degree of consistency for determining particle size distribution in industrial applications.
本文提出了一种激光散射离心液相沉降(LS-CLS)方法,用于准确定量分析胶体二氧化硅的基于质量的粒径分布。该光学系统包括激光二极管光源和多像素光子计数探测器,用于检测散射光强度。独特的光学系统只能通过拦截照射光来检测样品散射的光。所开发的离心液相沉降(CLS)方法包括发光二极管和硅光电二极管探测器,用于检测透射光衰减。CLS 仪器不能准确测量多分散悬浮液(如胶体二氧化硅)的定量体积或基于质量的粒径分布,因为检测信号包括透射光和散射光。LS-CLS 方法表现出改进的定量性能。此外,LS-CLS 系统允许注入浓度高于其他粒径分布测量系统的样品,这些系统具有使用尺寸排阻色谱或离心场流分级的粒径分类单元。所提出的 LS-CLS 方法使用离心分类和激光散射光学实现了基于质量的粒径分布的准确定量分析。特别是,该系统可以测量高浓度(约 20mg/mL)的多分散胶体二氧化硅样品的基于质量的粒径分布,例如在四种单分散胶体二氧化硅的混合物中,具有高分辨率和高精度,从而表现出高定量性能。所测量的粒径分布与通过透射电子显微镜观察到的结果进行了比较。所提出的系统可用于实际设置,以在工业应用中确定粒径分布实现合理程度的一致性。
