Calcium Carbonate Particle Size Analysis using the Mastersizer 3000 Laser Diffraction System

Calcium carbonates are available in a wide range of different particle sizes to fulfill a variety of functions in a range of industries. This application note shows how the Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction system can be used to measure calcium carbonate particle size. The range and measurement speed of the Mastersizer 3000 allows particle size of calcium carbonates to be tracked during production process as well as in quality control of a final product.
