Measuring the particle size distribution of calcium carbonate powders by laser diffraction
13 Feb 2023In this application note, particle size distributions of three different ground calcium carbonates were measured by laser diffraction. Typical size values and size distribution curves were compared to evaluate the quality and stability of the sizing process of the three samples.

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.
