    Abstract

    The electrical charge limit of crystallizing sodium chloride droplets has been studied. Moderately charged sodium chloride solution droplets were dried to highly charged residual particles. The charge limit was found to be near the Rayleigh charge limit for saturated sodium chloride droplets of the same size as the residual particle. The charge loss was not found to affect the particle size to a detectable degree.
