A new experimental method for the analysis of mass and energy transport and reactions on microparticles is presented. A chain of microdroplets from a vibrating orifice generator was injected into a quiescent gas phase. Linear Raman spectra from the microparticles and the surrounding gas were taken at different distances from the generator. Concentration changes were measured as a function of droplet lifetime. A period of time of up to 20 ms could be studied with a resolution of 10 μs. An argon-ion laser in a 90° scattering geometry was used for excitation. Spectra were taken through a modified double monochromator with a two-dimensional charge-coupled device (CCD) detector, one axis of which was used for spatial resolution. Profiles of gaseous components near the droplets could be measured with a resolution of 50 μm. The method has been applied to analysis of absorption, dissociation, and isomerization in the SO 2 –H 2 O system and to the investigation of the desorption process of CO 2 from water droplets. Chemical components in gas and liquid phase could be separated. The detection limit in aqueous media was 1 mmol/L.
