Assessing the homogeneity of an alumina/zircon powder mixture at various scales by scanning electron microscopy
Abstract
Powder mixing is a fundamentally important unit operation in industries handling powders. The purpose of
such an operation is to reach a given homogeneity, which has to be defined at a certain scale, the
observation scale, in order to be relevant. This scale is defined by the final product’s requirements.
Moreover, the homogeneity of a mixture can hardly be known exactly, and its assessment is always a
scientific issue due to theoretical and practical limitations.
