Download or read book Physico-Chemical Dynamics of Nanoparticle Formation During Laser Decontamination written by M.-D. Cheng and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laser-ablation based decontamination is a new and effective approach for simultaneous removal and characterization of contaminants from surfaces (e.g., building walls, ground floors, etc.). The scientific objectives of this research are to: (1) characterize particles generated during laser decontamination, (2) develop a technique for simultaneous cleaning and verification, and (3) develop a model for predicting particle generation. The research will provide fundamental data regarding the particle generation mechanisms, and a model for prediction of particle generation such that an effective control strategy can be devised to facilitate worker protection.
