X-MINING Particle Size Distribution

Particle Size Distribution means the percentage of each size contained in the sample particles, and the sum of all is 100%.
There are several ways to present the particle size distribution, but the most typical method is the horizontal axis for particle size (diameter) and the vertical axis for number or volume. Sharp peaks in the particle size distribution are called "excellent particle size distribution" and blunt peaks are called "poor particle size distribution".
When there are two peaks in the particle size distribution, it means that particles with two particle size distributions are mixed.
In order to describe the particle size distribution, it is necessary to first define the particle size.
Many particles are not sphere, but rather cubes, flakes, needles, etc. are expediently replaced with sphere to obtain the particle size.
There are many methods for measuring particle size, such as optical measurement using a laser or calculating from SEM images, and the particle size is often inconsistent depending on the measurement method.
Particle size distribution is represented graphically, but it can also be expressed numerically, it's called cumulative distribution of powder diameter described like as "D20" or "D50".... For example, D20 is the value calculated by integrating the percentages of the smallest particle size up to 20%, and D50 is the value calculated by integrating the percentages of the smallest particle size up to 50%. D50 is sometimes called the median diameter.
If the peaks of the particle size distribution are symmetrical, then the median diameter is equal to the average particle size.
