Particle Size Measurement

Part of the book series: Powder Technology Series ((PTS))

Abstract

Gravitational sedimentation techniques have limited worth for particles below about 5 μm in size due to the long settling times involved. In addition, most sedimentation devices suffer from the effects of convection, diffusion and Brownian motion. These difficulties may be reduced by speeding up the settling process by centrifuging the suspension.
