Aggregate formation according to mixing time. Influence of rotation time, t, on aggregate formation in EXP1 (\(d_{\text{t}} = 32\)–\(63\,\upmu \text {m}\), \(C_{\text{t}} = {33\%}\), and \(C_{\text{s}} = {9\%}\)): a number of aggregates, N, and b mass of aggregate, m. The vertical dashed line indicates \(t = 5\,\text {min}\), which is the boundary between the growth and decline stages of the aggregate
