Granulometric and morphologic analysis of suspended particles in the air of aluminum production
Abstract
The authors present results of granulometric and morphologic analysis of dust particles in workplace air of electrolytic aluminium production. Dimensions and morphology of 6339 separate particles were assessed by scanning electronic microscopy. Findings are that fractions less than 10 micrometers covered up to 95% of the general structure. Maximal mass of low-dispersed fractions was seen in workplace air of anode operator and crane-operator.
