Calcium Carbonate Particle Size Analysis using the Mastersizer 3000 Laser Diffraction System
19 Sept 2016Calcium carbonates are available in a wide range of different particle sizes to fulfill a variety of functions in a range of industries. This application note shows how the Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction system can be used to measure calcium carbonate particle size. The range and measurement speed of the Mastersizer 3000 allows particle size of calcium carbonates to be tracked during production process as well as in quality control of a final product.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters. Find the best particle characterization instruments in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CalciumQuality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. ManufacturingManufacturing is the production of merchandise for use or sale using labor and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation.
