Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for observing a change of mass inside a grinding unit as a part of a grinding process with a storing unit. The change of mass is derived from a mass balance for the grinding unit and a mass balance for the storing unit.
Abstract:
A method for producing fractured fragments of polycrystalline silicon having a fracturing process fracturing fragments of polycrystalline silicon between a pair of rolls which are rotated in a counter direction each other around parallel axes, in which: the rolls have a plurality of fracturing teeth protruding radially-outwardly from outer peripheral surfaces thereof; the fracturing teeth have spherical top surfaces and conical or cylindrical side surfaces; the fracturing process is performed in fracturing ratio of equal to or more than 1.0 to less than 1.5, and the fracturing ratio is specified by a maximum length of polycrystalline silicon before fracturing with respect to a facing distance between the top surfaces of the fracturing teeth at a facing part of the rolls.
Abstract:
The method of converting nepheline syenite particulate feedstock with a grain size profile to an ultra-fine grain finish product for subsequent commercial use, the ultra-fine grain final product has a maximum grain size of less than about 6 microns. The method comprising: providing a dry feedstock with a controlled maximum particle size greater than about 20 microns; grinding the feedstock in a dry state by passing the feedstock vertically downward through a continuous, high-speed stirred ball mill whereby the feedstock is ground into an intermediate powder having a drastically reduced grain size profile than the grain size profile of the feedstock; and passing the intermediate powder from the mill through an air classifier using a rapidly moving high speed air stream moving along a given path to convey the ultra-fine grain product along the path and from the classifier and to allow coarse particulate material including particles larger than the ultra-fine product to be separated and then expelled from the classifier.
Abstract:
Disclosed are fine powder of waste polyurethane foam and a manufacturing method thereof. According to this invention, fine powder of waste polyurethane foam can be manufactured using a crushing process including primary and secondary coarse crushing steps and a fine grinding step and a classification process, thereby solving conventional problems of the deterioration of the properties and the difficulty forming a desired cell structure, due to the use of waste polyurethane powder having a large particle diameter, and widening the range of waste polyurethane that can be recycled.
Abstract:
A hydrocarbon-soluble drag-reducing suspension is described, along with a process for manufacturing the drag-reducing suspension. The drag-reducing suspension is easily transportable, non-hazardous, easily handled, and provides a significant increase in drag-reducing capability over existing products. The drag-reducing suspension is manufactured by grinding an ultra-high molecular weight polymer in the presence of a grinding aid and mixing it with a suspending fluid.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for grinding iron ore or iron ore concentrate is be able to grind iron ore or iron ore concentrate economically. In the method and apparatus disclosed, the material is ground in circulation in a material bed roll mill, one fraction of the iron ore or iron ore concentrate ground in the material bed roll mill is recirculated to the material bed roll mill and the other fraction of the iron ore or iron ore concentrate is classified into oversize material and fines, the oversize material is returned to the material bed roll mill.
Abstract:
In a grinding/pulverizing system the combustion of the material being processed is avoided by grinding or pulverizing the material at temperatures below the combustion temperature of the material, and/or in an atmosphere of reduced oxygen level incapable of supporting combustion of the material at the processing temperature.
Abstract:
In order to enable grinding, with the lowest possible specific energy requirement, of brittle grinding material, in particular moist ores and/or other moist minerals, with the use of an interparticle crushing high-pressure roll press in which the roll surfaces are protected against wear by means of a grid armoring by an autogenous wear protection layer, without having to accept the risk of a premature damaging of the wear protection layer given the occurrence of rough particles/oversized particles/scattered particles, a smooth roll mill is connected upstream from the interparticle crushing high-pressure roll press, in whose nip (i.e. that of the smooth roll mill), the nip width is limited to a maximum of approximately 4 mm, such that only the oversized particles (scattered particles) contained in the feed material are coarse-crushed by means of individual particle crushing.
Abstract:
In this method of comminution according to the invention, pre-comminuted ore material is subjected to material bed comminution in a material bed roll mill. In order to achieve optimal comminution even of very different ore materials with a high throughput the ore material is pre-comminuted in an autogenous mill, whereupon at least fractions of fine material are separated out of the pre-comminuted material before the rest of the material is further comminuted in the material bed comminution.
Abstract:
Apparatus for reducing the particle size of material subjected to the impact of the hammers of a material reducing hammer mill in which oversize material impacted by the mill hammer is prevented from getting into the stream of properly sized material by being thrown against a flow impeding member which makes such material difficult to pass a material sizing fan having spinner blades that can not effectively intercept particles that are hard, improperly reduced, and require reduction. Material flow impeding angular passages which offer resistance to flow of material that is hard and/or oversized are located to intercept the oversized material and return such material to the material reducing hammer mill for further size reduction before it is able to get into the product stream.
