Title Aerosols of lead, nickel and cadmium - A method of generating soluble and insoluble compounds
Bibliographic information Feb. 1973, Vol.26, No.2, p.75-77. Illus. 8 ref.
Abstract Description of a generator developed for the production of aerosols of soluble nickel and lead compounds (PbCl2 and NiCl2) as well as aerosols of insoluble nickel oxide (NiO) and cadmium oxide (CdO). The mass median diameters obtained were within the range 0.15-0.30µm. The generator consists essentially of a nebuliser; its use provides a simple, easily controllable and flexible system for the generation of metal oxide aerosols.
