Results
Laser diffraction

The median particle size L50(D (v, 0.5): 50% of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:
1st test series L50= 93.8 µm; 2nd test series L50= 94.3 µm
The average of the median particle size: L50= 94.0 µm

The particle size L10(D (v, 0.1): 105 of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:
1st test series: L10= 14.1 µm; 2nd test series: L10= 14.1 µm
The average of the particle size: L10= 14.1 µm

The particle size L90(D (v, 0.9): 90% of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:
1st test series: L90= 286.2 µm; 2nd test series: L90= 299.2 µm
The average of the particle size: L90= 292.7 µm

The particle size distribution showed a polymodal distribution. Two maxima were seen at ca. 150 µm and 1500 µm. Shoulders were observed at ca. 3 µm and 40 µm.

Additional information

The particle size distribution showed a polymodal distribution. Two maxima were observed at approximately 150 µm and approximately 1500 µm. Shoulders were observed at approximately 3 µm and 40 µm.
