Particle size parameters and surface hydrophobicity for BLPI and WLPI.
| BLPI | WLPI | |
|---|---|---|
| Particle size distribution (μm) | ||
| D4,3 | 12.1 ± 1.20 | 51.5 ± 6.36 |
| D3,2 | 8.37 ± 1.68 | 32.7 ± 5.55 |
| Dv (10) | 4.76 ± 1.23 | 19.6 ± 5.46 |
| Dv (50) | 9.49 ± 1.79 | 49.0 ± 5.83 |
| Dv (90) | 18.5 ± 1.22 | 86.6 ± 9.66 |
| Surface hydrophobicity (−) | 2185 ± 67.0 | 842 ± 274 |
D4,3: volume-weighted mean particle diameter; D3,2: surface-area weighted mean particle diameter; Dv (10): 10th volume percentile; Dv (50): 50th volume percentile Dv (90): 90th volume percentile. Results are presented as mean ± standard deviation. BLPI and WLPI were significantly different (p < 0.05) for all parameters tested.
