Abstract The destruction of solid agglomerates suspended in argon by means of shock waves (1 〈M s 〈 5) has been studied experimentally using a conventional shock tube apparatus. The change in particle size was measured by time-dependent in situ laser light scattering of the particle ensemble in the shock wave. The test facilities used are given in details, and the principle of the Mie-theory, necessary for complete understanding of the data reduction, is described. In this paper data reduction and first analysis employing two independent trial solutions involving the Mie-theory for polydisperse, spherical particle-ensembles are presented. Three types of agglomerates suspended in argon with a mean initial size of about 1 gm were exposed to the shock wave and different size reduction behaviours were observed. The deagglomeration effect depends largely on the wave intensity and on the physico-chemical structure of the particle aggregates.
