Conductivuty of Aqueous Dust Solutions

This paper presents an analysis of the conductivity of aqueous solutions of dusts occurring in the atmosphere, stressing the effect on [overhead] high voltage insulation. Based on some references, a list of chemical compounds occurring in dusts is presented. The reason for nonlinearity of the relation between the conductivity of dust solutions and their dilution is discussed. The effect of dust solubility on the conductivity is described. A specification of the weakly soluble chemical compounds, together with the conductivity of their saturated solutions, is given.
