The handling of powders, such as storing, conveying, filling, mixing etc. leads to airborne dust in the ambient air. These procedures almost represent a fault or a hazard, hence the capability of a powder to liberate dust is also a feature of quality. The amount of released dust of disperse particle systems depends on primary particle properties, such as particle size distribution, and also on the method and intensity of stressing. Also, quantitative description of dustiness always depends on the measuring method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
