ANALYTICAL METHODS

Particle Size Separation

In order to meet the first objective cf this project, it was
necess2ry 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 standard 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
chiorobenzene 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 large particles
