Visual Microscope Analysis

(1) Standard visual observation: sample observed to be free-flowing, gritty, poly dispersed white powder with clusters. The clusters were observed to be > 310 μm.

(2) 100x magnification: particles appeared to be irregular shaped crystals (smallest +/- 16 µm and largest +/- 304 µm)

(3) 400x magnification: sample was observed to be made up of made up of single crystalline particles.

Manual sieve analysis

In the manual sieve analysis, 60.5% of the sample particles were found to be < 500 µm and 39.5% were found to be > 500 µm.

Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analysis

Using the identified parameters, the particle size was analysed over the range 0.02 μm to 2000 μm.

The average Volume weighted Mean was 160.374 µm and the mode was 151.241 µm. The Coefficient of Variation for d50 was <3%; d10 and d90 were <5%. Thus the repeatability of the characteristic particles in the size distribution was within the acceptable limits according to the ISO 13320-1 test standard.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Visual examination at 100x magnification showed irregular shaped crystals between approximately 16 µm and 304 µm.
The particle size distribution of T000293 determined by the laser diffraction method led to the conclusion that the average volume weighted mean based on 5 runs was 160.374 µm and the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) based on 5 runs was 143.749 µm, whereas the average D10, D50 and the D90 were determined to be 40.664 µm, 134.047 µm and 307.213 µm, respectively.
