The powder coating booth according to the invention comprises booth walls (13-18) and a roof (30) which can be lowered between the booth walls (13-18), wherein a gap (60) is provided between the roof (30) and the booth walls (13-18). The roof (30) has compressed air nozzles (70) for spraying the booth walls (13-18). In addition, a supporting device (33-36) is provided, which supports the roof (30). In at least one of the booth walls (13 18) a vertical slot (61) is provided through which the supporting device (33-36) protrudes into the booth (1) and in which the supporting device (33-36) is movable. In addition, the booth comprises a bottom (19) with a suction (5, 6), which is connectable with the suction inlet (2.1) of a cyclone separator (2) via a suction pipe (7).

A cyclone comprises a second or lower portion that is pivotable with respect to a first or upper portion about an articulation between a first position and a second position; the second portion being aligned with the first portion along a first or vertical axis when the second portion is in the first position, and the second portion being aligned on a second axis that is different from the first axis when the second portion is moved from the first position to the second position. In various additional embodiments, the second axis may be normal to the first axis, for example, in the first position the lower portion is horizontal and in the first position the lower portion is vertical and aligned with the upper portion. The second position may be used as a cleaning position. When the lower portion is pivoted away from the upper portion, the vortex is interrupted. In the second position, the lower portion may also interface with a suction mechanism.

A system for determining an analyte by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) includes a sample introduction device having a heated cyclonic spray chamber. The system is configured to introduce sample that includes a metal and/or a metalloid having an organic interferent. The system also includes an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry device with a collision/reaction cell configured to receive a mixture of gases including both ammonia and hydrogen. A method includes introducing a sample to plasma to produce a characteristic spectrum associated with an elemental composition of the sample. The method also includes introducing both ammonia and hydrogen to a collision/reaction cell to remove carbon-based interferences to detection of the sample prior to determining the elemental composition of the sample.

The present invention is a nozzle assembly having a nozzle main body including an ejection material suction port and an ejection port which ejects the ejection material with the compressed air, and an air nozzle which jets the compressed air into the nozzle main body. The nozzle main body includes a mixing chamber which mixes the ejection material with the compressed air, a first pathway directed from the ejection material suction port toward the mixing chamber, and a second pathway directed from the mixing chamber toward the ejection port. The air nozzle includes a compressed air jet portion and a third pathway directed to the compressed air jet portion, and the third pathway is inserted into the nozzle main body. The compressed air jet portion of the air nozzle is provided with a flow contracting portion having an opening.

The invention relates to a powder spray coating booth (1) in which objects can be coated with powder with the aid of at least one spray device (6), wherein the powder spray coating booth (1) has an exhaust channel arrangement for exhausting air and excess powder from the booth interior of the powder spray coating booth (1), and wherein the exhaust channel arrangement has an exhaust channel (9) which is arranged in the booth substructure and which is fluidically connected to the booth interior via at least one exhaust opening (8). In order to achieve that a change of powder can also be quickly carried out, the invention provides that the exhaust channel (9) is additionally fluidically connected or can be additionally fluidically connected to at least two channel sections (31, 32) which are led out of the booth substructure, via a manifold (30) arranged in the booth substructure.

Powder is sprayed uniformly and favorably from a powder nozzle into processing target air. In a coating mist collection apparatus, coating mist in processing target gas is collected by filters in a state in which a coating mist trapping filter covering layer made up of an accumulated layer of powder is formed on the surface of the filters. The coating mist collection apparatus is provided with a powder dispersion means that obtains a uniform powder concentration in the air in sealed powder tanks by dispersing the powder stored in the tanks in a uniform floating dispersed state, and is provided with a spray air conveying means that supplies the powder in the floating dispersed state in the powder tanks along with carrier air to powder nozzles through powder supply passages.
