| description |
<p>Hygroscopicity is one of the most important physicochemical properties of
aerosol particles and also plays indispensable roles in many other
scientific and technical fields. A myriad of experimental techniques, which
differ in principles, configurations and cost, are available for
investigating aerosol hygroscopicity under subsaturated conditions (i.e.,
relative humidity below 100 %). A comprehensive review of these techniques
is provided in this paper, in which experimental techniques are broadly
classified into four categories, according to the way samples under
investigation are prepared. For each technique, we describe its operation
principle and typical configuration, use representative examples reported in
previous work to illustrate how this technique can help better understand
aerosol hygroscopicity, and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. In
addition, future directions are outlined and discussed for further technical
improvement and instrumental development.</p> |
