Another process, which also generates elemental sulfur as a by-product, has been patented by Envirotech Research Center in Salt Lake City (29). In the Electroslurry process, a ball mill finely grinds a chalcopyrite concentrate, which reacts with an acidic copper sulfate solution for iron removal. The Hquor is electrolyzed and the iron is oxidized to the ferric form. This latter step leaches copper from the copper sulfide for deposition on the cathode. Elemental sulfur is recovered at the same time. 

Ultrafine grinding is carried out batchwise in vibratoiy or ball mills, either diy or wet. The purpose of batch operation is to avoid the residence time distribution which would pass less-ground material through a continuous mill. The energy input is 20-30 times greater than for standard grinding, with inputs of 1300-1600 kWh/ton compared to 40-60. Jet milling is also used, followed by air classification, which can reduce top size Below 8 [Lm. 

Since its grinding volume is some 30-40 times smaller than that of a ball mill for the same task, the Szego mill is compact for its capacity. It is characterised by relatively low specific energy consumption, typically 20-30 per cent lower than in a ball mill, and flexibility of operation. It can give a large reduction ratio, typically 10-20, and grinds material down to a 15-45 xm size range. 

Deters (14) vibromilled a blend of cellulose and cellulose triacetate. The acetic acid content of cellulose acetate decreased with grinding time (40 h) while that of the cellulose increased, suggesting the formation of a block or graft copolymer or of an esterification reaction by acetic acid developed by mechanical reaction. Baramboim (/5) dissolved separately in CO polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), and poly(vinyl acetate). After mixing equal volumes of solutions of equivalent polymer concentration, the solvent was evaporated at 50° C under vacuum and the resultant product ball-milled. The examination of the ball-milled products showed the formation of free radicals which copolymerized. 

The aim of the paper was to describe the process of grinding of raw materials used in the industrial-scale production of ceramic tiles, by applying the theory of statistical moments. Grinding was performed in industrial ball mills in ceramic tile factories Ceramika Paradyz Ltd. and Opoczno S.A. The ball mills operated in a batch mode. A mixture of feldspars and clay was comminuted. Its composition and fractions depended on the conditions that should be satisfied by raw materials for the production of wall tiles (monoporosis and stoneware) and terracotta. The ground material was subjected to a particle size analysis. Results of the analysis were used in the calculation of relationships applied in the theory of statistical moments. The main parameters, i.e. zero moment of the first order and central moments of the third and fourth order were determined. The values of central moments were used in the calculation of skewness and flatness coefficients. Additionally, changes of mean particle size in time were determined. 

The first procedure, developed in England by Stopes and Wheeler (1923), consists in grinding a certain weight of coal in a ball mill, run under fixed conditions and for a stated length of time. The coal is then removed from the mill and the weight of the coal passing a 200-mesh used as a measure of friability. In this country the second procedure has been more widely used, resulting in two more or less widely accepted tests. 

Rock Grinding. Until 1973, most phosphate was ground dry in roller or ball mills. In that year, Agrico, at South Pierce, Florida, converted one of its dry mills to wet slurry grinding and proved that the plant water balance could manage the rock at a 65-68 percent solids slurry. Since that time, most U.S. installations have converted to wet grinding.
