Abstract:This paper presents results regarding the grinding behaviour of two batches of material (clinker) in a ball mill with its own two-step grinding process: the first one with a ball load, the second with a load of cylindrical metal bodies. The first step was performed until the residue R009 has reached aprox.35%, and the second stage until Blaine's specific surface was over 3800 cm2/g. Periodically, at 10-minute intervals, the fineness of the clinker and the specific energy consumption were determined. These cons… Show more
“…In grinding processes, energy consumption is a very important profitability criterion for the applied particular size reduction technology. The energy consumption of grinding is the subject of many studies, especially in the case of ball mills for grinding clinkers [8,9], fuels [10], iron ore [11], hematite ore [12], sulfide ore [13], wet ores [14], and in the case of stirred mills for grinding ores [15][16][17] and wet quartz [18]. In [19,20], the energy efficiency of various coals grinding in the ball-and-race mills is studied experimentally.…”
Raw materials are used in many industrial technologies. The raw material frequently has to be prepared as an intermediate with an appropriate particle size distribution, which requires the use of grinding. In grinding processes, energy consumption is a very important profitability criterion for the applied particular size reduction technology. The paper describes the comminution process that takes place in the jet mill using a modified form of the thermodynamic theory of grinding. In this theory, new material characteristics have been added: the surface and volumetric density of grinding energy. The thermodynamic theory is a combination of the classical Kick’s theory and the modified form of Rittinger’s theory. The tested physical magnitudes are a measure of the energy consumption of the grinding process. They describe the energy that must be provided in the grinding process to overcome interactions between particles related to the volume and surface of the material. Knowledge of these magnitudes is necessary to model thermomechanical phenomena in the solid state. The paper presents the results of research on comminution in a jet mill, on the basis of which the values of the tested material magnitudes were determined. It is graphically shown how the values of the tested magnitudes depend on the grain size of the ground samples.
