in ICP spectrometry
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08449
Processes occurring inside the spray chamber or desolvation system responsible for the modification of the primary aerosol to finally yield the tertiary aerosol.
Note:
These phenomena include solvent evaporation, droplet coalescence or coagulation, inertial droplet losses, gravitational settling and turbulence losses.
