Smoluchowski's equation is a macroscopic description of a many particle system with coagulation and shattering interactions. We give a microscopic model of the system from which we derive this equation rigorously. Provided the existence of a unique and sufficiently regular solution of Smoluchowski's equation, we prove the law of large numbers for the empirical processes. In contrast to previous derivations we assume a moderate scaling of the particle interaction, enabling us to estimate the critical fluctuation terms by using martingale inequalities. This approach can be justified in the regime of high temperatures and particle densities, which is of special interest in astrophysical studies and where previous derivations do not apply.
