Divisive Refinement of Metal Fiber at the PM0.1 Classification Stage for PM0.5–0.1 Sampling with Nanosampler by Yuta Kurotsuchi, Kazuhiko Sekiguchi, Yohei Hayakawa

“…In the 4D cartridge, it was estimated that 8.7 mg of SUS wool fiber was required to achieve a classification efficiency of 100 nm at 50% cutoff diameter because the apparent volume fraction of SUS wool fiber increases with the introduction of the partition. Using optimal mesh and amount of SUS wool fiber, the average RSD of sulfate ions was 5.6%, which was within the acceptable range (± 15%) for reanalysis of the Ministry of the Environment in Japan due to changes in analytical sensitivity of ionic components, confirming that PM was evenly collected from the four pieces of SUS wool fiber. …”
