Abstract:A rheological modifier was used to prepare solutions with viscosities of 1, 4, 6 and 8 cp, which exhibited Newtonian behavior. These solutions were later used to prepare suspensions of monosize quartz (53, 45 and 38 microns) at 60 % in solids. Monosize grinding tests in a laboratory ball mill were performed to determine breakage parameters, with different ball diameters. A model was developed to determine the specific rate of breakage in terms of the system rheology. With this model, it was demonstrated that a… Show more
