I want to use stearic acid (SA) as particle control agent (PCA) with ceramic reactants and I want to know how to use it? directly add to the powders or first make a solution and then add it t o the powders?
Experimental results show that the mean particle size is affected by: (1) the types of the PCA, (2) the amount of PCA, (3) the milling duration, 4)nature of the particles. If you mill magnesium, iron, then you need to add the stearic acid. If you mill PE, you must add solution of stearic acid in the hydrocarbon. If you mill NaCl, you must add of sodium salt of stearic acid.
I prepared my powders and now I want to do wet particle size using water and the powders stayed on the surface of water and did not dissolve Would you please guided me how to solve this problem?
