Conclusions:
The particle size distribution (volume distribution) of the test item Lithium carbonate was measured by laser diffraction. The values were as follows: d10: 1.76 µm, d50: 5.47 µm, d90: 12.1 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution (volume distribution) of the test item Lithium carbonate was measured by laser diffraction. The values were as follows: d10: 1.76 µm, d50: 5.47 µm, d90: 12.1 µm.

Description of key information

The particle size distribution was measured by laser diffraction. At one study the averages of three measurements were as follows: d10: 8.0 µm, d50: 461 µm, d90: 977 µm,  at another  study the values were as follows:  d10: 1.76 µm, d50: 5.47 µm, d90: 12.1 µm. Differences may depend on the technique of production and / or measurement of particle size distribution incl. sample preparation. However, the range for the different qualities is comparable with the fraction equal / lowers 10 µm being always above 10 %.
