Experimental Study of the Aerosolization from a Carbon Nanotube Bulk by a Vortex Shaker

Table 4

Aerosolized particle mass (μg)/filter for different parameterizations (rotational speed, geometry.). The mass concentration (mg/m3) can be obtained by dividing the masses in μg by 300. “ ” indicates the number of tests.
