Visual Microscope Analysis

(1) Standard visual observation: sample observed to be a medium to fine white powder with lumps and clusters.

(2) 100x magnification: particles appeared to be irregular shaped crystals (smallest +/- 3 µm and largest +/- 256 µm)

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

Solubility and Dispersability Test

The sample proved to be insoluble and well dispersed in Kerosene. Therefore, Kerosene was used as the suspension fluid.

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 110.122 µm and the mode was 105.953 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 3 µm and 256 µm.
The particle size distribution of T000836 determined by the laser diffraction method led to the conclusion that the average volume weighted mean based on 5 runs was 110.122 µm and the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) based on 5 runs was 124.393 µm, whereas the average D10, D50 and the D90 were determined to be 60.072 µm, 103.661 µm and 171.579 µm, respectively.
