Comminution
Energy requirements
The comminution of solid materials
consumes energy, which is being used to
break up the solid into smaller pieces. The
comminution energy can be estimated by:
Forces
There are three forces which typically are
used to effect the comminution of
particles: impact, shear, and compression.
Methods
There are several methods of
comminution. Comminution of solid
materials requires different types of
crushers and mills depending on the feed
properties such as hardness at various
size ranges and application requirements
such as throughput and maintenance. The
most common machines for the
comminution of coarse feed material
(primary crushers) are the jaw crusher (1m
> P80 > 100 mm), cone crusher (P80 >
20 mm) and hammer crusher. Primary
crusher product in intermediate feed
particle size ranges (100mm > P80 >
20mm) can be ground in autogenous (AG)
or semi-autogenous (SAG) mills
depending on feed properties and
application requirements. For
comminution of finer particle size ranges
(20mm > P80 > 30 μm) machines like the
ball mill, vertical roller mill, hammer mill,
roller press or high compression roller mill,
vibration mill, jet mill and others are used.
For yet finer grind sizes (sometimes
referred to as "ultrafine grinding"),
specialist mills such as the IsaMill are
used.
Trituration, for instance, is comminution
(or substance breakdown) by rubbing.
Trituration can further be described as
levigation (trituration of a powder with a
non-solvent liquid), or pulverization by
intervention, which is trituration with a
solvent that can be easily removed after
the substance has been broken down.
