Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Test method: Laser diffraction technique

Laser diffraction measures particle size distributions by measuring the angular variation in intensity of light scattered as a laser beam passes through a dispersed particulate sample. Large particles scatter light at small angles relative to the laser beam and small particles scatter light at large angles. The angular cattering intensity data is then analyzed to calculate the size of the particles responsible for creating the scattering pattern, using the Mie theory of light scattering. The particle size is reported as a volume equivalent sphere diameter.

Procedure
Sample is dispersed in deionized water/Na4P2O7 with ultrasound for 60 seconds. Dispersion is radiated with laser light, which is scattered by particles. Angles and intensities of scattered light are measured, analyzed and particles diameter is calculated by the instruments software.
