Suspended sediment concentration by filtration : effect on primary grain-size distribution (technical note) / I.G. Droppo, B.G. Krishnappan and E.D. Ongley. : En13-5/91-76E-PDF
"The influence of concentrating suspended sediments by filtration for analysis with the Malvern Particle Sizer is determined. Low concentration solutions with known primary grain-size distributions (determined by a Malvern Particle Sizer) were filtered onto two types of filters (0.4 µm Nuclepore polycarbonate plastic membrane filter and 0.45 µm Millipore cellulose membrane filter). The sediments were resuspended by a distilled water wash to produce higher concentration solutions, sonicated, and again analyzed by the Malvern Particle Sizer for their primary grain-size distributions. The comparison of the initial and resuspended grain size distributions revealed minimal difference between the two. There was some evidence of filter disintegration and pore clogging, however, their influence on the distributions was minimal. It is expected that the errors induced by pore clogging may increase with samples containing significant amounts of organic matter"--Abstract.
