Effect Of External Energy On Atomic, Crystalline And Powder Characteristics Of Antimony And Bismuth Powders, Mahendra Kumar Trivedi, Vikram V. Dabhade, Rama Mohan Tallapragada

Mahendra Kumar Trivedi

Next to atoms and molecules the powders are the smallest state of matter available in high purities and large quantities. The effect of any external energy on the shape, morphology and structure can thus be studied with relative ease. The present investigation deals with the effect of a non-contact external energy on the powders of antimony and bismuth. The characteristics of powders treated by external energy are com-pared with the as received powders (control). The average particle sizes, d50 and d99, the sizes below which 99% of the particles are present showed significant increase and decrease indicating that the energy …
