Diameter on Cumulative 10%: 0.59 µm.
Diameter on Cumulative 90%: 19.14 µm.
Executive summary:

The determination of the particle size distribution of the test substance, Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking was determined by using the laser diffraction method.

Test was performed according to the standardISO 13320-1 Particle size analysis - Laser diffraction methods - Part 1: General principles, First edition 1999-11-01.

The recommendations of Guidance Document on the Determination of Particle Size Distribution, Fibre Length and Diameter Distribution of Chemical Substances, EUR 20268 EN (2002) were considered.

Median size was determined 3.43 µm.

Diameter on Cumulative 10%: 0.59 µm.

Diameter on Cumulative 90%: 19.14 µm.
