A long-lasting generator of continuous silica nanoparticle aerosols based in a fluidized bed of glass beads coated with nanosized silica has been developed. The attrition resulting from the bubbling fluidized bed regime progressively detaches the silica coating from the glass beads, giving rise to a steady production of silica nanosized aerosols with median diameters from 100 to 250nm depending on the initial size of the coating nanoparticles. Continuous aerosol production could be maintained for more than 12h, and the nanoparticle concentration can be easily tuned in the range of 2000 to 14,000 #/cm(3) by adjusting the fluidization and/or dilution flow rates.
