Any other information on results incl. tables

The physical characteristics of the material are recorded, noting such items as shape and size

distribution.

Standard visual observation-Sample observed to contain fine, medium and coarse particles of reddish brown powder and some clusters and agglomerations were observed.

Observation at 100 x magnification-The particles appeared to be irregular shaped crystals. The smallest individual particle size was

approximately 3.2 μm and the largest individual size was approximately 496.00 μm.

Observation at 400 x magnification-The sample was observed to be made up of single crystalline particles and agglomerated particles.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The sample was observed at different values of magnification and was observed to contain fine , medium and coarse particles - crystalline particles and agglomerated particles
The sample was dispersed in kerosene and analysed further using the Malvern Mastersizer 2000 Laser Diffraction Analyser. The particle size was determined :-

d10 - 10 % of material is < 8.133
d50 - 50 % of material is < 126.615
d90 - 90 % of material is < 454.527

12.60 % by volume of sample was seen to be < 10.00 μm.
Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was conducted to characterise the particle size distribution of the powder. The analysis is conducted initially

using a visual microscope and is then undertaken more formally using a Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyser.

Results and conclusion

Standard visual observation -Sample observed to contain fine, medium and coarse particles of reddish brown powder , some clusters and agglomerations were observed.

Observation at 100 x magnification-The particles appeared to be irregular shaped crystals. The smallest individual particle size was

approximately 3.2 μm and the largest individual size was approximately 496.00 μm.

12.60 % by volume of sample was seen to be < 10.00 μm.

Observation at 400 x magnification-The sample was observed to be made up of single crystalline particles and agglomerated

particles.
