The technical field is as follows:
the invention relates to a method for detecting the granularity and the surface characteristics of diamond micropowder, belongs to the technical field of superhard material micropowder, and particularly relates to a method for detecting the granularity and the surface characteristics of the diamond micropowder by using a flow cytometer.
Secondly, background art:
the diamond micropowder refers to diamond particles with the granularity of less than 36/54 microns, and in the production of the diamond micropowder, the use of the diamond micropowder is greatly influenced by the particle size distribution and the surface characteristics (the crystal form of the diamond micropowder), particularly in the field of diamond wire saw application. Different particle size distributions, different crystal forms, can have a severe impact on diamond wire cutting. In the production of diamond, the powder particles absorb a large amount of mechanical energy and heat energy to ensure that the surface of the powder particles has quite high specific surface energy, so that the particles are in an extremely unstable state and have a tendency of agglomeration, thereby causing pseudo large particles. Therefore, it is required to reduce agglomeration as precisely as possible in the detection of the diamond fine powder. In the existing detection of diamond micropowder, the particle size distribution is usually detected by a laser diffraction method and a resistance method in the industry, and a microscope is used for observing and judging the crystal form. However, because of different individual senses, the crystal form is not easy to describe, and data analysis is difficult to carry out, and the image analysis method of a microscope and a computer is few in detection particles, and the data are unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple, efficient and accurate method.
