- Percentile:
- D50
- Mean:
- 100.6 µm
- Remarks on result:

- Percentile:
- D90
- Mean:
- 256.4 µm
- Remarks on result:

- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study the D10 is 20.74 μm, the D50 is 100.6 μm and the D90 is 256.4 μm.
- Executive summary:
The particle size is determined by laser diffraction using a Microtrac-S3000.
The powder sample is dispersed by vigorous stirring in deionized water and sonication with 40 W for 1 minute. The suspension is recycled through the cell, which is illuminated by three laser beams at different angles. Laser radiation is scattered by particles in all directions, collected by multi-element detectors and analyzed. The dependence of the intensity on the scattering angle is a function of particle size, refractive index, and wavelength of incident light. Exact determination of particle sizes is ensured by a single optical system. The results are calculated from the diffraction data according to the theoretical model and are presented in the form of particle size distribution, %.
Average particle size of 6 analyzed samples are reported.
Under the conditions of the study the D10 is 20.74 μm, the D50 is 100.6 μm and the D90 is 256.4 μm.
