Original Abstract

This paper is discussing possible ways of how to determine the size distribution of fine solid particles, focusing on two methods in particular. The first is the sieve analysis which is one of the oldest methods suitable for sorting of groups of particles by size. The second is a modern method utilizing laser diffraction on small particles. For the measurement itself were used the sieve analyzer Analysette 3 PRO and universal laser diffraction device Analysette 22 MicroTec plus, both from the Fritch company. The comparison was made by analyzing fine ash particles from biomass burners. The particles were in the size range of 0.08 mikrometers to 2000 mikrometers.
