Results of Particle Size Distribution Measurement

As a result of 5 repeated analyzes of the test substance, the particle size distributions of Dv(10), Dv(50) and Dv(90) were measured at 52.6, 102 and 173 μm, respectively, when analyzed on a volume basis. The results were suitable for ISO test criteria (Tolerance %: Dv(10) < 3 %, Dv(90) < 5 %) and reproducible.

The Result of Particle Size

The particle size of test substance was measured at 106 μm and calculated as volumeweighted average size(D[4,3]).

Conclusions:
The particle size distribution of Zinc cyanide was examined with the wet dispersion system using “the Laser diffraction methods” specified by International Organization for Standardization. The particle size of test substance was measured at 106 μm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of Zinc cyanide was determined in compliance with Testing Guidelines for Studies of Chemicals, Section 2. 7, “Particle Size Distribution/Fibre Length and Diameter”(Notification No. 2018-12, Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea, 09 April 2018), testing guidelines - “Particle size analysis - Laser diffraction methods”, KS A ISO 13320, Korean Standards Associatio (Published: 27 November, 2014), OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, 110, “Particle Size Distribution/Fibre Length and Diameter”, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development(Adopted: 12 May 1981) and “Particle size analysis - Laser diffraction methods”, ISO 13320:2009, International Organization for Standardization (Published: 31 January, 2010).

The result was as follows;

1) The particle size distributions of Dv(10), Dv(50) and Dv(90) were measured at 52.6, 102 and 173 μm, respectively, when analyzed on a volume basis.

2) The particle size of test substance was measured at 106 μm and calculated as volumeweighted average size (D[4,3]).

In summary, the particle size distribution of Zinc cyanide was examined with the wet dispersion system using “the Laser diffraction methods” specified by International Organization for Standardization. The particle size of test substance, Zinc cyanide, was measured at 106 μm using the laser diffraction methods after five repeated analysis tests.
