METHOD OF HELPING PARTICLE DETECTION, METHOD OF PARTICLE DETECTION, APPARATUS FOR HELPING PARTICLE DETECTION, AND SYSTEM FOR PARTICLE DETECTION

摘要

A method of helping particle detection and a method of particle detection include an adsorption/infiltration step where an organic gas is brought into contact with organic particles to cause an organic gas component to be adsorbed and infiltrate to the organic particles; a foaming step where a heated gas is brought into contact with the organic particles contacted with the organic gas to foam/expand the organic particles; and an organic-particle detection step where the foamed/expanded organic particles are irradiated with light and light scattered by the organic particles is received to detect the organic particles. Further, the methods include an oxidation step where inorganic particles and the organic particles are oxidized to decompose the organic particles and expand the inorganic particles; and an inorganic particle detection step where the expanded inorganic particles are irradiated with light and light scattered by the inorganic particles is received to detect the inorganic particles.
