Abstract
Field-flow fractionation (FFF) in a standing acoustic wave field with the use of radiation pressure was studied. With this force field across the channel, values characterizing the effectiveness of the separation were obtained. In this situation the separation process resembles conventional FFF. Particles may either be pressed against the channel wall or focused in the region of maximal flow velocity, depending on the sign of the adiabatic compressibility difference and/or the density of the particles and the medium. Particles may be separated according to density, adiabatic compressibility and diffusion coefficient. Optimal conditions for separation were found and results of preliminary experiments are presented.
