The Hungarian university research group possesses great knowledge on the field of analytical chemistry and geoanalytics.
Granulometry is a valuable method in examining certain areas for economic expedience, in neutralizing (or deciding on their expedience) of industrial dust and other hazardous waste, and in the building industry.
In the course of its particle size analysis activity, known as granulometry, the research group is able to define the particle size distribution of powders, granular material or sediments with a laser granulometer.
This activity is carried out by an up-to-date, complex particle-size analyser instrument, which is able to examine powders, granular materials and sediments in the range of 0.01–3000 µm. Dispersing the sample can be carried out by water, or water doped with wetting agents. The evaluation of the results comprises of, among others, the granular diameter belonging to 10, 50 and 90 % of the distribution curve, the average granular diameter, the sizes and percentages defined by the user and several other parameters. The instrument is suitable for measurements according to the theory of Fraunhofer, as well as the theory of Mie. (According to Mie, while measuring the air-related refractive index of the particle must be known.)
