The Influence of Particle Diameter on Analytical Results

Abstract:

In analytical chemistry, particle diameter is very important during the sample preparation. A model is presented describing the effects of particle diameter on the content of analyte determines the size of the particle; and the particle size determines the weight of samples and relative standard deviation in the results. This new methodology for the optimisation of physical sample preparation is applied for the first time. Based on this relationship, we can find an extensive application in analytical chemistry.
