| dc.description.abstract | This study addresses issues including whether sand grains are fractured during processing (crushing/washing) for use in frac sand applications. If grains are fractured, what sizes of fragments are produced? It is important to determine if any of the fragments are small enough to be considered respirable. Another aspect of this study is to determine if digital analysis is a faster and more effective method to quantitatively analyze sand grain shapes. | en |
