Mill-grinding

For fine pulverization, both dry and wet processes are utilized, but increasingly the dry process is more popular because wet grinding ultimately requires drying and is much more energy intensive. A sensitive fan swirls the dust sizes into the air separator and permits coarse particles to recycle to the grinding mill or be rejected as tailings the fines are drawn into cyclones where the dust is collected.

Internal impeller induces recycle within classifier. 0.5 to 7.5 2 mm to 38 im to 2100 4 to 500 Used where solids must be kept dry, such as cement grinding. Air classifiers may be integrated into grinding mill structure.

Ball mills or tube mills can be operated in closed circuit with external air classifiers with or without air sweeping being employed. If air sweeping is employed, a cyclone separator may Be placed between mill and classifier. (The principles of size reduction combined with size classification are discussea under Characteristics of Size Classifiers. ) Likewise other types of grinding mill can be operated in closed circmt with external size classifiers (Fig. 20-12), as will be described at appropriate places on succeeding pages. However, many types of grinders are air-swept and are so closely coupled with their classifiers mat the latter are termed internal classifiers.

Precautions recommended include use of cold zinc and total enclosure of such processes [2]. The possibility of explosions of zinc dust suspended in air is presented as a serious hazard [3], A serious dust explosion in the air filter unit of a zinc grinding mill was initiated by a spark from an explosion relief panel [4], See Zinc chloride, below... 

In addition to the complications described, other factors are important in specific reactions. If a reaction takes place on the surface of a solid, reducing the particle size (by grinding, milling, or vibration) leads to an increase in surface area. A sample of a solid treated in this way may react faster than an untreated sample, but in some cases changing the particle size does not alter the rate. This has been found to be true for the dehydration of CaC204-H20, which is independent of the particle size over a wide range of a values. 

For many years this plant has treated an oxide siliceous ore using the hydrolysed palm oil mixture. The palm oil-fuel oil mixture is heated to about 60°C in the presence of soda ash and then passed through a colloidal mill before it is added to the copper conditioner. A typical reagent scheme used to treat the Kolwezi siliceous ore is shown in Table 19.7. The soda ash and sodium silicate are added to the grinding mills and the palm oil emulsion to the copper conditioner.

For poorly soluble drugs, the digestive absorption depends on their rate of dissolution. Decreasing the particle size of these drugs to increase the surface-to-bulk ratio improves their rate of dissolution. Fine-grinding mills are used to... 

The central drum makes twenty-five revolutions per minute, and in the course of twenty-four hours grinds about eight thousand six hundred pounds of bark. The cutting machine already described is capable of supplying three grinding mills. 

Another grinding mill, very much used in America, where it is known as Wiltze s or Cat skill s, is shown In Fig. 346. This in principle is the same as Weldon s, only that instead of grooves an arrangement of sharp-edged teeth, both in the inclosed bell and hopper, is employed. As tho bell turns by tho power exercised upon the shaft, the teeth in the former,...
