A Reference Material for Bulk Solid Investigations

Abstract This is an introduction into the idea of using a reference material in bulk solid investigations. The considered investigations deal with the phenomenon of dust emissions arising when handling bulk solids. Here, the idea is to simplify the structure of a bulk material and to characterize the chosen components in detail. Then, the comprehension and interpretation of complex mechanisms is going to be facilitated. Outlined are the introduction of the general framework and the approach of the selection process.
