Particle size analyzer acts as a process control tool in alumina industry
Elimination of sample preparation permits Kaiser Aluminum to analyze process samples ranging from raw materials to waste solids.
Over the years, analysts at Kaiser Aluminum in Gramercy, La., have tested and used several methods of particle size analysis in an attempt to find a way to monitor product at all stages of production and to control processes and maintain the product within specifications. Though no method has proved ideal, a recently introduced analyzer, the Lab-Tec 100, has allowed Kaiser's analysts to perform some procedures that other methods are incapable of performing.
