title: Droplet sorting of large particles.
abstract: The systematics of droplet formation conditions for orifices with diameters up to 200 micron are described. Sorting recovery experiments indicate that particles up to 44 micron in diameter can be recovered by charged droplet deflection of two drops with at least 75% recovery. By reducing the jet velocity, a deflection of greater than 1 cm was obtained for all droplet sizes.
