- Conclusions:
- The particle size distribution of the test item 4,4’-Dimethoxytrityl chloride was determined by laser diffraction (light scattering):
Average of the median particle size D (v, 0.5): 12.8 µm
Average of the particle size D (v, 0.1): 4.0 µm
Average of the particle size D (v, 0.9): 383.5 µm - Executive summary:
The particle size distribution of the test item 4,4’-Dimethoxytrityl chloride was determined by laser diffraction (light scattering). A large part of the test item was present as agglomerates with a diameter above 1 mm. Hence, the test item was sieved with a mesh size of 1000 µm. Only 43% (w/w) of the test item passed the sieve and only this fraction was measured with laser diffraction.
Average of the median particle size D (v, 0.5): 12.8 µm
Average of the particle size D (v, 0.1): 4.0 µm
Average of the particle size D (v, 0.9): 383.5 µm
Reference
The test item consisted of non-transparent particles which had a very strong tendency for agglomeration. The particles had a sticky behaviour and were electrostatically charged after sieving. A large part of the test item was present in form of agglomerates with a diameter above 1 mm. The aforementioned effects opposed a measurement via sieve analysis and influenced the results of the study using laser diffraction. Hence, the test item was sieved with a mesh size of 1000 µm. Only 43% (w/w) of the test item passed the sieve and only this fraction was measured with laser diffraction.
Median particle size D (v, 0.5): 50% of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter
1st test series: 11.8 µm
2nd test series: 13.9 µm
Average of median particle size: 12.8 µm
Particle size D (v, 0.1): 10% of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter
1st test series: 3.8 µm
2nd test series: 4.2 µm
Average of the particle size: 4.0 µm
Particle size D (v, 0.9): 90% of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter
1st test series: 327.9 µm
2nd test series: 439.1 µm
Average of the particle size: 383.5 µm
The particle size showed a polymodal distribution. Maxima were observed at approximately 0.8 µm, 8 µm, 80 µm and 400 µm. The maxima at 400 µm and 80 µm most likely corresponded to agglomerates.
