Metal Shaping Processes. Vukota Boljanovic
laser diffraction, particle size distributions are calculated by comparing a sample’s scattering pattern with an appropriate optical model. Traditionally, two different models are used: the Fraunhofer approximation and the Mie theory.
The Fraunhofer approximation was used in early diffraction instruments. It assumes that the particles being measured are opaque and scatter light at narrow angles. As a result, it is only applicable to large particles and will give an incorrect assessment of fine-particle fractions.
The Mie theory provides a more rigorous solution for the calculation of particle size distributions from light scattering data. It predicts scattering intensities for all particles, small or large, transparent or opaque. The Mie theory allows for primary scattering from the surface of the particle, with the intensity predicted by the refractive index difference between the particle and the dispersion medium. It also predicts the secondary scattering caused by light refraction within the particle. This is especially important for particles below 50 µm in diameter, as stated in the international standard for laser diffraction measurements.
