Energy efficiency – a compromise between reaction depth and expended energy - is an actual question for any technology implementation. Mechanochemical technology for brown coal deep processing has one more compromise - between reaction depth and dust formation. Indeed, the depth of mechanochemical reactions usually correlates with grinding efficiency, but for coal cases dust formation is an unwanted process. Here we consider a solid-state mechanochemical reaction of humic acid oxidation by sodium percarbonate in one laboratory mill at different conditions. The ratio between the grinding bodies load and the payload was varied, the reaction yield and the ground samples characteristics were controlled.
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.
