Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Machine sieving test was carried out using the following test sieves 4, 2, 1 mm, 500, 250,
100, 63 and 45 µm.
The particle size distribution of 4-Nitrobenzic acid was found to be: between 250 µm and
1000 µm..
Executive summary:

The tap density of 4-Nitrobenzic acid was found to be 0.79 g/mL.
Details are summarized in Table 1.
