Particle Size Measurements Using a New Signal Processing Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Transmission fluctuation spectrometry (TFS) is a new method for particle analysis based on the statistical fluctuations of a transmission signal. With simple optical arrangement and easy operation, the method can be applied to real-time, online measurements. The transmission signal with fluctuations are analyzed by using 1st order band-pass filters, and the experimental data in the frequency domain are obtained. The particle size distribution (PSD) and particle concentration are extracted from the experimental data with the modifed Chahine interations. It is found that the measurements using band-pass filters are of better resolution in the PSD than those with low-pass filters.
