Smart Particle Collector with Real Time Spectroscopic Analysis
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
A particle collector breadboard testing system (Racetrack), based on the ACE1.0 particle collector model, was designed and built to study the mechanisms for particle collection and detection. Several parameters were investigated, such as current and voltage of the filament, magnetic fields and supporting electronics. Advanced optical spectroscopic features with data logging capabilities were designed in this project. The advanced features were tested for future incorporation into a new breed of particle collectors. Several experiments conducted with the Racetrack provided a path for a new prototype particle collector “ESP-EV1”. Preliminary results suggest that the new particle collector is an order of magnitude more efficient in collecting material than currently used collector systems. This project also demonstrated the capability to extract nanoparticulates from a sample containing material from 100 nm to 10 micron-sized particulates.
