The impact behavior between the charge and lifter has significant effect to address the mill processing, and is affected by various factors including mill speed, mill filling, lifter height and media shape. To investigate the multi-body impact load behavior, a series of experiments and Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations were performed on a laboratory-scale mill, in order to improve the g...

Water washing of cottonseed meal is more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly than protein isolation by means of alkaline extraction and acidic precipitation. Thus, water-washed cottonseed meal (WCSM) is more promising as biobased wood adhesives. In this work, we examined the effects of the particle size on the morphology and adhesive performance of WCSM. Pilot-scale produced and dried W...

Methods for processing feedstuffs before analysis can affect analytical results. Effects of drying temperature (corn silage), preservation method (corn grain), and grinding method (corn silage and grain) on starch analysis values were evaluated. Corn silage samples dried at 55 or 105 degrees C and grain samples dried at 55 degrees C were ground to pass the 1-mm screen of an abrasion mill or cut...

The paper utilizes Petri_like_net structure in developing an intelligent expert control system to achieve optimum grinding by regulating the parameters of the grinding mill. The work establishes an appropriate theoretical background that helps to predict dynamic breakage characteristics of particle size distribution of materials, adequately supported by experimental data. Feed forward neural ne...

The liner of an ore grinding mill is a critical component in the grinding process, necessary for both high metal recovery and shell protection. From an economic point of view, it is important to keep mill liners in operation as long as possible, minimising the downtime for maintenance or repair. Therefore, predicting their wear is crucial. This paper tests different methods of predicting wear i...

The trait of the ball mill is chaotic in nature due its complex dynamics associated during grinding. Grinding in ball mill generates high-intensity vibration and is too complex on account dependency of multiple variables. In this paper, the vibration signal is acquired using a low power ZigBee based three axes wireless MEMS accelerometer sensor mounted onto the mill shell. Firstly, the exact fr...

the equations governing the motion of steel balls and their impact onto shell liners in industrial semi-autogenous grinding (sag) mills are derived in full details by the authors and are used in order to determine the effective design variables for optimizing the working conditions of the mill and to avoid severe impacts which lead to the breakage of sag mill shell liners. these design variable...

Powdered enamel of extracted human teeth has been used in the estimation of the activity of anticaries agents (S. D. GERSHON, 0. W. NEIDITCH, and R. H. C. LEE, Proc. Toilet Goods Ass., 28:14-17, 1957), as well as a number of studies with a direct or indirect relation to this activity. Correlation of results with different samples of enamel has been difficult because of the numerous variables. I...

Merging of photo- and mechanochemical activation permitted studying the role of eosin Y in the borylation of aryldiazonium salts in a ball mill. Simultaneous neat grinding/irradiation of the reactants and the photocatalyst led to the formation of boronates in a molten state. On the other hand, the catalyst-free liquid-assisted grinding/irradiation reaction also led to product formation, featuri...
