Main properties of the processes of iron ore destruction in terms of its simultaneous effect by mechanical load and electric field of ultra-high frequency have been studied. That was compared with the case when only mechanical load is applied. Theoretically, it has been proved that in the first case, quartz crystals accumulate more energy, and this effect is manifested mostly in terms of resonance. For the first time, the iron ore samples of cubic geometry were tested using a non-uniform volumetric compression unit. Application of the ultrahigh frequency field resulted in ultimate strength reduction by 1.5 – 2.0 times and significant increase in plasticity of the destruction. At the same time, density of the sample destruction energy in a volume unit is significantly lower than that in the case of mechanical load (1.05 and 2.6 MJ/m3, respectively). There is also a tendency of reducing large fraction yield and increasing fine fraction yield along with the increase up to 11% in iron content in the products after grinding. The results of theoretical and numerous experimental studies have been substantiated the necessity to continue the research and development work on adapting the proposed jaw crusher to the production conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
