2 Calculation procedure from ‘Particle Number Concentration’ to the corresponding ‘Mass amount’

For the transformation of a reported ‘particle number concentration’ value (per m3) into the respective ‘mass amount’ of released MNM (in kg), the following procedure shall be used in the framework of LCI modelling.

Starting point are the known (and given) information of the release of the MNM i within an LCA study (according to the framework proposed above):

· Composition; i.e. the name of substance i;

· Amount, given as a particle number concentration PNC;

· Shape information of i (i.e. ‘F’ for fibrous; ‘S’ in all other cases);

· Size, given as average diameter in nm (representing the Median equivalent area diameters for ‘spherical’ particles; the average diameter for ‘fibrous’ forms); plus

· in case of ‘fibrous’ shape, the Length, given as ‘average length’ (in mm); resp.

in case of ‘spherical’ shape, the Size Distribution, via equivalent area diameters value – given as:

· DA/10 (i.e. diameter where 10% of particles have a smaller size),

· DA/90 (i.e. diameter where 90% of particles have a smaller size)

From this information, the mass amount of the released MNM i can then be calculated:

· Case of ‘spherical’ shape:

- Step 1: calculation of the volume of a single particle:

VPartikel= 16 × π × DV3 [1]

with DV = DA/50DA/rel

For DA/rel the most appropriate value out of the following table[1] is used, based on “real” shape information of i (i.e. not based on the in the framework assumed approximation of being all of ‘spherical’ form).

Shape / Dimension in mm
[lxbxh or l;diam.] / DA/rel
Cube / 100 x 100 x 100 / 0.91
Sphere / 124 / 1
Granule, type 1 / 172; 86 / 1.11
Granule, type 2 / 108; 108 / 0.99
Granule, type 3 / Flat projection / 0.87
Disk / 68; 137 / 1.1
Flake / 215 x 215 x 21.5 / 1.96
Column / 232 x 93 x 46 / 1.33
Needle / 585 x 58 x 29 / 1.68
Fibre / 6’828; 13.7 / 2.78

- Step 2: calculation of the related mass amount:

mi= VPartikel × PNC ×Densityi [2]

by taking the density value for the substance i from a reference book like e.g. CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics – online at http://www.hbcpnetbase.com/

· Case of ‘fibrous’ shape:

- Step 1: calculation of the volume of a single particle:

VPartikel= 14 × π × DAvg2 ×L [3]

- Step 2: calculation of the related mass amount:

mi= VPartikel × PNC ×Densityi [4]

by taking the density value for the substance i from a reference book like e.g. CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics – online at http://www.hbcpnetbase.com/
