Abstract. In order to solve the problem of shortage of potassium resources in China, the technology of extracting soluble potassium from insoluble potassium …
The comminution of biotite is of critical importance to the microstructural evolution of these mylonites as it facilitates the development of an interconnected network of fine and potentially very weak grains. However, the mechanism responsible is not clear. We use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe and characterise the ...
This chapter covers topics in relation to comminution in the minerals industry. Comminution in the pharmaceutical or chemical industries is not part of scope of this …
Abstract. In this study, a three-dimensional grain-based model based on the discrete element method is utilized to replicate the heterogeneous structure of crystalline …
Comminution is a group of mineral processing techniques used in extractive metallurgy to reduce the particle sizes of rocks. Comminution processes are used to turn rocks into powder because subsequent processing generally requires finer particle sizes. A particle becomes liberated when the mineral of interest is physically free from the other ...
This study can provide potential solutions and broad application value for the problem of manufactured sand with high biotite content in practical engineering. …
2016. TLDR. Thermogravimetric analysis-derived reaction kinetics (CO2 gasification), bomb calorimetry, proximate and ultimate analyses, and the Bond Work Index grindability test provided a more comprehensive characterization of the torrefied pellet's suitability as a fuel for gasification and also other combustion applications. Expand.
Comminution test methods used within mineral processing have mainly been developed for selecting the most appropriate comminution technology for a given ore, designing a grinding circuit as well as sizing the equipment needed. Existing test methods usually require comparatively large sample amounts and are time-consuming to conduct.
Ballantyne and Powell [4], drawing on a range of sources, reported that between 25 and 50% of total energy consumption was used in comminution. Curry et al. [5] reported ranges for comminution energy of 30–50% for a range of sites but observed that late in mine operating life this could increase to as high as 80–90% as ore grades …

Comminution is known to be an inefficient user of energy. This makes it the largest energy consumer in many mine sites and therefore a large component of cost. One would therefore have thought that improving comminution energy efficiency would be receiving the undivided attention of the mining industry, but this is not the case. ...
