Evaporation Kinetics and Final Particle Morphology of Multicomponent Salt Solution Droplets.

ABSTRACT: In both nature and industry, aerosol droplets contain complex mixtures of solutes, which in many cases include multiple inorganic components. Understanding the drying kinetics of these droplets and the impact on resultant particle morphology is essential for a variety of applications including improving inhalable drugs, mitigating disease transmission, and developing more accurate climate models. However, the previous literature has only focused on the relationship between drying kinetics and particle morphology for aerosol droplets containing a single nonvolatile component. Here we investigate the drying kinetics of NaCl-(NH₄)₂SO₄, NaCl-NH₄NO₃, and NaCl-CaCl₂ mixed salt aqueous aerosol droplets (25-35 μm radius) and the res
