Abstract:

In this paper we present a review of experimental studies of mechanical processes and the materials involved in that yield the production of submicron aerosols. The processes of pouring in and out, rolling, breaking, severance, and hit have been investigated. We present characteristics of the aerosols that are being produced in different processes and from different materials. The mechanism of aerosol generation during sand interspersing is examined in a more detail. This process is shown to be a source of a significant amount of submicron aerosol in arid zones.
