The Influence of Physically Doping NaCl with Other Salts on Aerosol and Solion Generation

Abstract

The paper presents the influence of physically doping NaCl grains with 0.5% KCl, KI, MgCl 2 and CaCl 2 on the release of negative aerosols/solions in dynamic halochambers. The salts used for doping were chosen according to the current procedures to obtain therapeutic and ambient mediums in aerosols with a negative charge based on NaCl. The aerosols were released by pumping an airflow of 1.8 L/min through a cartridge containing 60g of porous granules, with diameters between 4.0 and 6.6 mm, which were obtained by extruding dispersions of aqueous pasty-damp, saline solutions. We used an optical particle counter and a micro-chamber, divided into 10 equal rooms and with a zigzagged airflow delimited into three areas in each room. The upper side was fitted with several injectors to be coupled to the particle counter. Using this device we studied the aerosol emission dynamics over time, by keeping the temperature and humidity in normal conditions, as in the atmospheric air. Based on the evolution of the saline particles, which were divided into two stable groups in the air, namely gaseous microdispersions and gigantic dispersions, we evaluated their concentrations over time, by keeping the airflow that was pumped into the capsule constant. We thus determined the emission ratio over time and the lifespan of the solions in the three areas, over the halochamber functioning period and after the emission ceased. Aerosol/solion generation involves different sets of laws, based on the nature of the doping salt and the conditions in the environment. Therefore, one may select the doping conditions for the aerosol/solion generation granules and the optimal dynamic halochamber functioning time, for use with preventive, therapeutic, or physical performance enhancing applications.

The Study of Biochemistry on Myorelaxation of Manducatory Muscles by Influence of Botulinic Toxine in the Context of Oral Rehabilitation in SDSS Patients

“…Quickly installed therapeutic effect, side reactions reduced in the conditions of adequate administration, with reversible effects and diminished hepatic and renal toxicity, the absence of dependency or of cumulative phenomena, these are only a few of the objectives that a dental specialist must follow in selecting the type of medicinal substance used in muscular dysfunctions at the level of stomatognatic system. Although, the onset can be done on one element of the stomatognatic system further homeostasis disorders trigger the other elements, which can be improved in saline aerosol environments [14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Origin, distribution, and perspective health benefits of particulate matter in the air of underground salt mine: a case study from Bochnia, Poland

“…The ability to control the air exchange ratio in an underground salt mine can be a significant advantage compared to the artificial halochambers on the surface. For artificial halochambers, more care is taken to produce the appropriate saline aerosol than to ventilate this closed inner space properly (Chervinskaya 2007;Sandu et al 2013Sandu et al , 2018.…”

The Role of Saline Aerosols in the Prevention and Therapy of Cardio-respiratory and Osteo-muscular Afflictions

“…Likewise, according to the characteristics of the source and the environmental conditions in which they are obtained, the aerosols display var ying shapes, granulometries and concentrations; in this regard, the specialised literature employs the following terms: saline aerosols, haloaerosols, aeroanions, and solions -they differ in terms of morphology, internal structure (ratio between the NaCl polyhedron nanostructures and the oligomers of the water dipoles), electrical charge, etc. [1,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…An artificial source of aerosols is characterised by the three different areas: the active or nucleation layer, the diffuse layer or of structural reforming and stabilisation in terms of concentration level and of aero-disperse system, and the residual, passive or of quenching, through electroneutralisation or stearic and electrostatic sedimentation. The three areas can be distinguished through the activity of the saline aerosols, respectively through the concentration and size of the particles [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

“…Conversely, the gaseous media contain besides solions (glomeruli in the form of hydrated concentric nanostructures) also weakly superficially aquated nanopolyhedrons of NaCl (with a layer of water dipoles). The two groups of nanoparticles have different diameters and structural shapes, with the size of the particles ranging from tenths of microns to tens of microns [27,28]. The granulometry, structure and dynamics of the two groups of particles (solions and weakly hydrated polyhedrons) in gaseous media are determined by the intensity of the microclimate factors, by microbiological, chemical and radiative agents.…”
