Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Karbach A, 2009

Particle size distribution was analysed by image analysis after sieving (880µm).

The coarse fraction of the sample (845 µm - 16100 µm) with a mean diameter of 4228.6 µm was 99.61 %(w/w) .

The fine fraction (1.4 µm to 780 µm) was 0.39%(w/w) of the sample. It was analysed by light microscopy. The mean diameter of this fraction was 113.5 µm.
