Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
November 03, 2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Laser light scattering. The test was performed according to the SOP - STR 071 (Hydro 2000S) protocol.
The particle size distribution was analyzed using the Mastersizer 2000 tool, which uses the technique of laser diffraction to measure the size of particles. It measures the intensity of light scattered as a laser beam passes through a dispersed particulate sample. This data is then analyzed to calculate the size of the particles that created the scattering pattern.

Executive summary:

Method

The particle size distribution was analyzed using the Mastersizer 2000 tool, which uses the technique of laser diffraction to measure the size of particles. It does this by measuring the intensity of light scattered as a laser beam passes through a dispersed particulate sample. This data is then analyzed to calculate the size of the particles that created the scattering pattern.

Result

Analysis carried out after 2 minutes of ultrasonic treatment:

D10= 20.273 µm

D50= 46.048 µm

D90= 74.255 µm

Description of key information
