segregation of small particles
Explanation:
The concern appears to be that the distribution of particle sizes will become skewed or unbalanced (possibly due to air turbulence or differing weights) when the powder recovery process is air/vacuum assisted. i.e. the heavier particles will settle out.

That is, "segregation of too high a proportion of fine particles", to keep the language flow intact.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pouring sand from a height will cause heavier particles to become segregated, resulting in an uneven distribution of sand granule sizes in the final concrete mix.
