Conventionally mills

When BlkPdr is used as a pressed grain, surface normal burning rates can be defined. These studies continue as an important tool in examining the complexities of the burning mechanism. These and other properties of various BlkPdrs have been compared (Ref 72), as has the temp dependence of the burning rates. The enormous volume of published data deals, however, only with conventional, mill process, powder, while the corresponding data on the jet mill powder await the completion of ongoing studies...

The vibration mill has a very much higher capacity than a conventional mill of the same size, and consequently either smaller equipment may be used or a much greater throughput obtained. Vibration mills are well suited to incorporation in continuous grinding systems. 

The majority of applications for fluid energy mills are for producing powders in the sub-sieve range, of the order of 20 p,m and less, and it may be noted that the power consumption per kilogram is proportionately higher than for conventional milling systems which grind to a top size of about 44 p,m. 

The particle-size and size-distribution of solid materials produced in industrial processes are not usually those desired for subsequent use of these materials and, as a result comminution and recrystallization operations are carried out. Well known processes for particle size redistribution are crushing and grinding (which for some compounds are carried out at cryogenic temperatures), air micronization, sublimation, and recrystallization from solution. There are several practical problems associated with the above-mentioned processes. Some substances are unstable under conventional milling conditions, and in recrystallization processes the product is contaminated with solvent, and waste solvent streams are produced. Applying supercritical fluids may overcome the drawbacks of conventional processes. 

Furthermore, the tangential uncut chip thickness varies according to a conventional milling process. The maximum value is then equal to the tangential feed per tooth. However, for the continuous cut, the undeformed chip thickness as well as the undeformed chip width is constant. The undeformed chip width is equal to half of the tool diameter. These values have to be known to calculate the machining forces. 

The possibility of increasing the strength properties of existing cements ground in a conventional mill by mechanical activation was reported by Sekulic et al (1980, 1997). Such activation may be achieved by an additional grinding of the binder in a vibro-mill... 

The most common nonphosphalic accessory minerals associated with sedimentary phosphate rocks are quaife— clays, and two carbonates dolomite (CaMg(C03)2) and calcite (CaCOs). Carbonate-cemented phosphate rocks are particularly noteworthy because of their abundance. McClellan and Gremillion [14[ estimated that there are 3 tonnes of carbonate-cemented phosphate rock for every tonne of ore that could be handled by conventional milling and flotation processes (quartz- and clay-containing phosphate rocks). 

Mill tailings The operation of two major conventional mills has resulted in about 150 million m of tailings. 

It has been predicted that about 500 GW(e) of nuclear generating capacity will be in service in the world some time after the year 2000 and that the total quantity of uranium needed by then would be about 2 million tonnes. If this uranium were produced by conventional mills fi-om 0.1% uranium ore, some 2,000 million tonnes or uranium mill tailings would be left behind for disposal. 

Vulzanizates were prepared by conventional milling and compounding at 100 F. followed by press curing according to the formula in Table IV unless otherwise noted. The HAF carbon black was Philblack 0 (N-330) of Phillips Petroleum Co. A cure rate study is given in Figure 1. Gel/swell data (wt. %) were deter-... 

Climb milling should be used as an Eiltemative to conventional milling, when possible, to minimize tool chipping... 

The main advantage of conventional milling is the lower impact encountered at initial tooth-workpiece engagement (zero chip thickness).
