Abstract
The electrostatic charge separation associated with the pneumatic dispersion of various electrolyte solutions was investigated by measuring the current flow between the bulk phase reservoir and ground. By varying ionic concentrations, pH, types of ions, solvent, and hydrodynamic conditions, current profiles were generated to determine the influence of these parameters on the mechanism of the spray electrification process. Previous explanations for charge separation based on a shearing of the electrical double layer are discarded in favor of an approach which takes into account the liquid phase ion-pair separation arising from an imbalance of force fields responding to a bulk phase attraction for ions at a suddenly created surface.
