Each basic operation can be divided into one or more unit operations. Size reduction involves cnishing and grinding depending on the size of material handled, and these may be carried out in stages. Separations can be either soHds from soHds, based on size or mineral composition, or soHds from Hquids, ie, dewatering (qv). Size separation or classification is an integral part of any flow sheet, not only to meet product size specifications, but also to ensure a narrow size distribution for subsequent minerals separation circuits and to decrease the load and improve the efficiency of size reduction units which are energy intensive.

The Szego mill has been used for dry as well as wet grinding of coal, in both water and oil, for the preparation of coal-slurry fuels. To grind coal in water to the standard boiler size (80 per cent < 74 im) takes about 7 MJ/Mg (20 kWh/tonne). For micronized grinding, to a 15 xm median size, 2-3 passes through the mill are required and the specific energy... 

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.

With increasing Ekin the particle size diminishes at first, but afterwards increases from a certain Ek n value onwards. If one considers the implemented specific energy to be a product of the intensity and frequency of the collision between beads and grinding medium, it follows that, at E/pV = const and an increasing intensity of the collision, the frequency has to diminish and this results in a coarser product. This also explains why, in the previously discussed investigation [77], particles no finer than d50 = 1 pm were found, see Fig. 52 and 53.
