3.4 ANALYTICAL METHODS
3.4.1

Particle Size Separation

In order to meet the first objective cf this project, it was
necessary to size grade the sample in such a manner as to provide a’
sufficient quantity in each size range to perform the required analyses,
For this reason it was decided to use standerd sieves down to the
smallest particle size possible and the Roller analyzer below that
point. The limitations of these techniques are discussed in
Section 5.2.

The mixture of solid fallout and approximately 50 ml of the

chlorobenzene from the two-phase collector was slurried on a uh p sieve
and permitted to settle through the sieve. This procedure was repeated
three times. The sieve was then tilted and the chlorobenzene solution
that had settled through the sieve was re-added with a dropping pipette
so that the solution settled through an exposed section of the sieve,
When all the particles were washed to one side of the sieve, the sieve
was tilted in the other direction and the process repeated, Care was
exercised to keep one section of the sieve clear of lerge particles
