laParticle size analysis-Laser diffraction methods (ISO-13320-1) Introduction Laser diffraction methods are nowadays widely used for particle sizing in many different applications. The success of the technique is based on the tact that it can be applied to various kinds of particulate systems, is fast and can be automated and that a variety of commercial instruments is available. Nevertheless, the proper use of the instrument and the interpretation of the results require the necessary caution. Therefore, there is a need for establishing an international standard for particle size analysis by laser diffraction methods. Its purpose is to provide a methodology for adequate quality control in particle size analysis. Historically, the laser diffraction technique started by taking only scattering at small angles into consideration and, thus, has been known by the following names: - fraunhofer diffraction; - (near-) forward light scattering; - low-angle laser light scattering (LALLS). However, the technique has been broadened to include light scattering in a wider angular range and application of the Mie theory in addition to approximating theories such as Fraunhofer and anomalous diffraction. The laser diffraction technique is based on the phenomenon that particles scatter light in all directions with an intensity pattern that is dependent on particle size. All present instruments assume a spherical shape for the particle. Figure 1 illustrates the characteristics of single particle scattering patterns: alternation of high and low intensities, with patterns that extend for smaller particles to wider angles than for larger particles[2-7,10,15 in the bibliography]. Within certain limits the scattering pattern of an ensemble of particles is identical to the sum of the individual scattering patterns of all particles present. By using an
