Experimental Parameter Study of the Factors Influencing Dry Dispersion Using Laser Diffraction

Abstract

The optimization of dispersion processes is crucial for the particle size of the end product and the increase in efficiency of such processes. The aim is to optimize a dry dispersion process by adjusting relevant process parameters, which are relevant for gas phase mixing processes. Laser light diffraction is used to analyze the influence of various factors on the particle size distribution of submicron LiFePO4. The investigation focuses on geometric (tube size, work distance), material-related (pre-treatment, brush), and operating parameters (mass and volume flow). The results allow conclusions to be drawn about the dispersing effect of these parameters, which can provide valuable information for optimizing dry dispersion processes and the product quality in subsequent process steps.
