    2D Imaging Simulation from 3D Particle Data: Python Notebooks, Particle Datasets, and Simulation Results
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2024-05-14) Buchwald, Thomas; Ditscherlein, Ralf
    2D projection imaging techniques are simulated with 3D particle data from tomography measurements. This submission contains three distinct parts: original particle data, Python notebooks to simulate 2D imaging of the particles, and the resulting simulation dataset. The particle data comes as STLs that have been converted from VTK particle data as provided by the PARROT database (https://parrot.tu-freiberg.de/). The STL files are *not* identical with the STLs provided by PARROT as of May 2024! The particle data folder is provided as separate archive because of its large size. The Python notebooks were created with Jupyter Lab and Anaconda. A environment.yml file is provided that recreates the Anaconda environment. The simulation dataset that results from the provided Python notebooks is made available as CSV files or as pickled Python (pandas) DataFrames. Please refer to the included Readme for a detailed description of the files contained in the archive.

    Correlative X-ray micro-Computed Tomography (X-µCT) scans of Engineered Artificial Minerals (EnAM)
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2024-11-07) Siddique, Asim; Schröer, Laurenz
    Characterizing complex particulate materials like slag using X-ray microcomputed tomography (μCT) is challenging due to minimal grey-scale contrast from similar attenuation properties among phases and intricate microstructures. To address this problem, we developed a standardized multi-scale correlative methodology that combines μCT at different resolutions with scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). By scanning large samples for statistical significance and sub-samples at higher resolutions, we capture detailed microstructures. Aligning SEM-EDS data with μCT scans using inherent markers enables accurate phase segmentation. Mineral mapping from SEM-EDS can help to train segmentation models for μCT data, overcoming μCT limitations and allowing precise 3D mineralogical characterization. This approach provides a robust framework for analyzing complex slag particles. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101005611 https://excite-network.eu.

    Fully saturated and dewatered filter cakes at different resolutions
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2021-08-23) Löwer, Erik
    Appendix to Publications A to E with investigations of different particle systems (material, size and shape variation). X-ray tomography image of fully and partially dewatered filter cakes. The initial slurries contains mica, dolomite, quartz, limestone or glass particles suspended in a potassium iodide-glycerol brine. The different shaped particles were separated by cake-forming filtration followed by dewatering. All filtration and dewatering experiments took place in an in situ apparatus within the Zeiss Xradia 510 X-ray microscope. The filter cake is dewatered until the minimum degree of saturation is reached within the pore space. A scan is taken at the equilibrium state before and after dewatering. A small section in the center of the desaturated filter cakes was additionally measured at a significantly smaller field of view and higher resolution in order to be able to determine the local contact angle in addition to the saturation distribution and the size of the individual liquid bridges.

    Research data for: "Analyzing the 3D morphology of particle systems coated by mechano-fusion using micro-CT image data"
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2026-06-17) Seyffer, Judith Miriam; Gräfensteiner, Phillip; Rieder, Philipp
    This dataset contains micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image data of alumina host particles coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) guest particles via mechano-fusion, a dry particle coating process. The data supports quantitative analysis of 3D coating morphology using geometric descriptors including coating thickness, surface area coverage, and contact loss. Micro-CT scans of the in epoxy resin embedded particles were acquired with a Zeiss Xradia 510 Versa across two fields of view (upper and lower part) of a 1 mm × 1 mm × 2 mm sample. The dataset includes raw reconstructed image stacks alongside phase-wise, aggregate-wise, and host-only segmentation outputs generated via a hierarchical segmentation pipeline developed as part of the research. SEM images of five polished cross-sections of the same sample were acquired with a Tescan Amber using a backscattered electron detector. An ilastik pixel classification model for SEM image segmentation is also provided. This dataset is associated with the publication "Analyzing the 3D morphology of particle systems coated by mechano-fusion using micro-CT image data."

    Research data for: "Particle size analysis and beyond - laser diffraction and derived information regarding structures of mechano-fusion coated particles"
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2026-06-02) Seyffer, Judith Miriam
    Laser diffraction (LD) is widely used for the analysis of particle size distribution (PSD). Due to the structure of dry-coated mechano-fusion particle systems, the interpretation of the PSD remains challenging. This study investigates hetero-aggregate coating structures of alumina host particles (median diameter 43.3 μm) with polystyrene guest particles (mean diameter 3.5 μm) in dry LD measurements and how dispersion conditions influence the PSD. Gentle freefall dispersion preserves coating structures and yields a monomodal PSD consistent with expected coated particle size. Differences in the PSD between samples of coated particles prepared under different process conditions are only observed using highintensity dry dispersion. High-intensity dispersion alters the aggregation state by detaching guest particles, leading to bimodal PSD. The plateau values in the cumulative distribution furthermore exceed theoretical guest volume fractions. Experimental measurements are combined with simulations of diffraction patterns and inverse reconstruction. Simulations qualitatively support the experimental findings by linking particle arrangement and deformation to reconstructed PSD features. The apparent overrepresentation is attributed to guest particle deformation and comminution, biasing the volume-weighted PSD. Hence, LD provides more than particle size information: aggregation state, dispersion-induced changes, and guest particle deformation are revealed, enhancing the applicability of LD for quality control of dry-coated hetero-aggregates.

    Sensitivity of Filter Cake Permeability to Systematic Variations in Particle Shape and Size: A Bottom-Up Stochastic Analysis
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2026-04-28) Löwer, Erik
    The data belongs to the corresponding publication "Sensitivity of Filter Cake Permeability to Systematic Variations in Particle Shape and Size: A Bottom-Up Stochastic Analysis" with the following abstract. A key question in filtration process design is understanding the filtration properties of a specific particle system. Current methods, like the Carman-Kozeny equation, struggle to accurately predict specific cake resistance and capillary pressure from a given particle size distribution, leading to reliance on limited empirical correlations. This poses challenges for process simulation, as the transition from particle characteristics to filter cake properties remains unclear. This work aims to correlate the distribution of multi-dimensional particle properties—both size and shape—with the properties of the resulting 3D filter cake morphology. We use tomographic image data of real filter cakes to validate a stochastic 3D model which describes the relationship between particle properties and multiphase filter cake characteristics using generated virtual particles that statistically resemble the actual data. Validation is provided by filter cakes from two different particle systems: spherical glass and broken quartz particles ranging in size from 40 to 300 μm with sphericity values from 0.5 to 1. Artificial, but realistic particles following the same particle property distributions are utilized to construct virtual filter cake structures using a forced bias algorithm, which statistically represent actual cake structures. The generated virtual cake structures allow for deriving trends in permeability by systematically varying particle properties virtually. The dataset provides the used raw data and the generated artifical cake structures which were used for the correlation of several particle, structure and process parameters of the investigated filtration process.

    Supplemental SEM-EDS (MLA) and CT data for the publication "CNN-based 3D characterization and liberation analysis of lithium-bearing slag particles using correlative CT and SEM imaging"
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2026-05-13) Ditscherlein, Ralf
    This dataset provides the underlying X-ray CT data and processed image stacks used for particle-scale characterization and evaluation of the proposed workflow. The study addresses the challenge of accurately characterizing lithium-bearing slag particles to improve recovery of critical raw materials. A correlative workflow combining 3D CT imaging with 2D SEM-based mineral maps is used to train convolutional neural networks for phase-wise and particle-wise segmentation. This enables scalable 3D characterization with minimal manual labeling effort. The models are applied to particle size fractions of 63–100 µm and 100–250 µm. Results show that conventional 2D approaches systematically overestimate mineral liberation, while the presented 3D approach reduces stereological bias and provides more reliable input for process optimization.

    Supplementary data of publication: "In-line Image Analysis of Particulate Processes with Deep Learning: Optimizing Training Data Generation via Copy-Paste Augmentation"
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2024-04-26) Daus, Sarah
    This dataset contains the supplementary data of the open-access publication "In-line Image Analysis of Particulate Processes with Deep Learning: Optimizing Training Data Generation via Copy-Paste Augmentation". It provides all the necessary data and scripts to replicate the results of the study and to further use the synthetic data generation to train one's own deep learning image segmentation model. The original scripts have been slightly modified to make them more suitable for general use, e.g. parameters have been passed to an argument parser instead of hard-coding them whenever possible. Abstract of Paper: Monitoring particle properties directly in the process using in-situ microscopy can provide valuable input to control loops, improve process understanding and facilitate process optimization. However, obtaining reliable information from these images remains a challenge, especially for higher solids concentrations or agglomerating systems. Recent studies have successfully applied deep learning models to extract particle characteristics from in-situ image data. Despite these advances, the problem of generating training data has not been properly addressed. Manual annotation is time-consuming and prone to bias due to high particle counts, particle overlap, and out-of-focus objects. This paper presents a new approach to generate training data for segmentation models by combining conventional segmentation methods with copy-paste augmentation. A case study was conducted in which depth filtration experiments were performed on irregularly shaped alumina particles. An instance segmentation model trained on data generated using the proposed approach successfully detected and characterized particles, even at high solids concentrations.
