The particle size distribution showed a polymodal distribution. Maxima were observed at approximately 3 μm, 50 μm and 400 μm.

Conclusions:
The median particle size D50 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 219.0 μm.
The particle size D10 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 3.68 μm.
The particle size D90 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 914.7 μm.

Description of key information

The median particle size D50 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 219.0 μm.
