Inverse problems in spectroturbidimetry of biological disperse systems with random and ordered particle orientation

Several approaches to increasing the number of parameters of suspended particles that can be determined by a spectroturbidimetric method have been analyzed. It has been shown that, in principle, this problem can be solved invoking spectral characteristics obtained under conditions of complete or partial particle orientation in the stationary and relaxation regimes. Informative potentialities of combining the methods of electro-optics and spectroturbidimetry have been considered. It has been found that eventually for a given disperse system in situ, it is possible to obtain the following set of parameters: particle mean size, shape characteristic and refractive index, number and mass-volume concentration of particles, their total surface area per unit volume of the suspension and the effective value of particle surface polarizability.
