Mechanistic modelling of mineral sizers

Key sectors of the minerals industry require comminution machinery that can crush material to a given size without over-crushing. These include: • Coal––due to relatively fragile nature of the material and the undesirability of fines. • Iron ore––in cases where fines are of a lower value, or where ultrafines should be minimized.

Common Crushing Industry Terms & Vocabulary

There are Crushing Industry Terms, Vocabulary as well as a number of expressions, peculiar to operation of rock crushing plants, have come into common usage among crusher designers and operators. Inasmuch as these terms are used rather loosely, and with a considerable degree of freedom as to their exact meaning, it is desirable to …

Crushing in Mineral Processing

In mineral processing or metallurgy, the first stage of comminution is crushing. Depending of the type of rock (geometallurgy) to be crushed, there are 2 largely different techniques at your disposition for crushing rocks. In principle, compression crushing is used on hard and abrasive rocks by placing them between a high wear …

Reuse of recycled crushed concrete fines as mineral …

We propose to use them as mineral addition, after a process of crushing and sieving resulting in powder (particles diameter lower than 80 µm). For this purpose, Recycled Crushed Concrete Fines (RCCF) were prepared from a 5 years old concrete and characterized by a physico-chemical approach.

Reducing top size with minimum fines

We already producing on the limit of the fines our client finds acceptable. So reducing the top size would put the fines fraction past specification. We want to switch the feed of a ball mill over to the fines removed (the -300 microns), but if there is too large of an increase in the fines produced we will exceed the ball mill capacity.
