Executive summary:

Method

Granulometry of the sample was performed with SOP-STR 071 method before the ultrasonic treatement and after 1 and 2 minutes of ultrasonics.

Results

Particle size after 1 minute of ultrasonic treatment: D50 = 80.128 µm

Particle size after 2 minutes of ultrasonic treatment: D50 = 75.720 µm

Description of key information

D50 mean 80.128 µm (1 minute of ultrasonic)

D50 mean 75.720 µm (2 minutes of ultrasonic)

Additional information

Granulometry of the sample was performed with SOP-STR 071 method before the ultrasonic treatement and after 1 and 2 minutes of ultrasonics.
