Sampling is one of the most important aspects of particle size analysis. If a biased sample is analyzed, a biased particle size distribution will be recorded. The requirement for good sampling not ...

Fine powders and granular materials are extensively employed in industrial applications. These materials have to be properly characterized to control and to improve the processing techniques. The ...

Internal corrosion generates black powder inside pipelines, while the composition of transported gas determines the powder’s composition. Preventing its occurrence or effectively managing the effects ...

Several products from the food, chemical, or pharmaceutical industries are supplied in powder form. These powders are prone to caking, which influences their quality and usage. In the majority of the ...

Measuring the band gap of materials is vital in the nanomaterial, semiconductor, and solar industries. This article illustrates how the band gap of a material can be established from its UV absorption ...

The powder sample tends to be compressed on the walls of the sample vessel, with the compressed portions on the front and back walls giving rise to two sets of peaks that are shifted from each other ...
