Specific details on test material used for the study:
Before the measurement the testitem was sieveed through a 1000 um sieve. The coarse fraction was 63 wt. % and the fine fraction 37 wt %. Measurement was done on a representative sample of the fine fraction of the test item (<1000 um).

Conclusions:
The test substances has the following particle soze distrubution: D10 = 92.5 µm; D50=440.9 µm; D90=967.2 µm
Executive summary:

The test item has a coarse fraction (>1000 um) of 63 wt.-% and a fine fraction <1000 µm of 37.0 wt-%. The fine fraction of the test item (<1000 µm) Slimes and sludges, electrolytic tin refining has a median particle size D10 = 92.5 µm; D50=440.9 µm; D90=967.2 µm, which was determined by laser diffraction measurement according to OECD Test Guideline 110 (1981), ISO 13320 (2009) and CIPAC MT 187.

Description of key information

The fine fraction of the test item (<1000 µm) 'Slimes and sludges electrolytic refining of tin, lead and silver containing alloy' (formerly called Slimes and sludges, electrolytic tin refining) has a median particle size D10 = 92.5 µm; D50=440.9 µm; D90=967.2 µm, which was determined by laser diffraction measurement,
