23、 must be compatible with thecomponents of the instrument used for the particle size analysis.7.1.2.1 If the powder reacts with, or is soluble in, water andorganic liquids, it must be analyzed in the dry state, and theremainder of this guide is then not applicable.7.1.2.2 If the powder reacts with, o

24、r is soluble in, water, butnot organic liquids, select an appropriate organic liquid.7.1.2.3 If the powder is neither reactive nor soluble in water,select distilled or deionized water as the carrier liquid.7.1.3 Selection of SurfactantIf the powder is not wettableby the chosen carrier liquid, select

25、 a suitable surfactant(dispersing agent).NOTE 2Ultrasonic energy treatment may be necessary to separateparticles so that the individual particles may be wetted by the carrier liquidor liquid/surfactant solution.NOTE 3Suggested surfactants are listed in Table 1 and footnotes 4through 6.4,5 ,67.1.3.1

26、The appropriate surfactant and its concentration aredetermined by trial and error; a series of concentrations ofdifferent candidate surfactants must be tried on separatesamples and the resultant particle size distribution analysescompared. The optimum surfactant and concentration areusually those th

27、at produce the finest particle size distributionresults.NOTE 4Excess surfactant may cause a coarser particle size distribu-tion in the subsequent particle size analysis.7.1.4 Dispersion Check:7.1.4.1 Determine whether the powder is dispersed in theliquid by examining it carefully in a beaker during

28、and afterstirring. If the powder appears to be distributed uniformlythroughout the liquid, and does not flocculate within a fewseconds after the discontinuation of stirring, particle sizeanalysis can then be performed (9.1) and the results evaluated.7.1.4.2 Ultrasonic Energy TreatmentEven if the pow

29、derappears to be uniformly dispersed, ultrasonic energy treatmentmay be necessary.NOTE 5Ultrasonic treatment may also be necessary to break upagglomerates in powders that appear to be dispersed, unless the agglom-erate distribution is desired from the subsequent analysis.7.1.4.3 Disperse the sample

30、by placing the carrier liquid/sample beaker in an ultrasonic bath or by inserting an ultra-sonic probe into the liquid/sample mixture. Continuous stirringof the liquid/sample mixture may be necessary through part orall of the ultrasonic treatment. As with surfactant selection(7.1.3.1), the appropria

31、te time and power level for ultrasonictreatment must be determined by trial and error. Select the timeand power level by using the minimums necessary to ensureprecision and adequate dispersion, as determined in 7.1.4.1.The optimum ultrasonic treatment is usually that which pro-duces the finest parti

32、cle size distribution results without frac-turing the individual particles.NOTE 6Particle fracture can be evaluated by examining the treatedpowder in a suitable microscope and noting whether the particle shape ordistribution has changed significantly as the power level or treatment timehas been incr

33、eased. Fracture of particles is also often indicated by a shiftfrom a unimodal to bimodal particle size distribution as the ultrasonicpower level or treatment time is increased.NOTE 7Some indication of the type of equipment, starting times, andpower levels for ultrasonic energy treatment may be obta

34、ined from Table1.7.1.4.4 Check for dispersion, as in 7.1.4.1. If the powder isnow well-dispersed, continue with the particle size analysis(9.1).7.1.4.5 If the powder is still not well-dispersed after ultra-sonic energy treatment, select a different surfactant and repeatthe steps given in 7.1.3 and 7

35、.1.4 (and their relevant subpara-graphs). Continue with this repetitive process until dispersionis attained.8. Recommended Dispersion Procedures8.1 Table 1 lists the dispersion procedures currently ingeneral use for several metals and metal compounds. Theseprocedures have been shown by experience to

36、 produceconsistent, reproducible particle size analysis results for thematerials listed.9. Particle Size Distribution Analysis9.1 After dispersion has been achieved by one of the abovetechniques, immediately perform the required particle sizeanalysis by whatever method is applicable (for example, Te
