These laboratory-based values ...

Energy Use in Comminution. Grinding activities in general (including coarse, intermediate, and fine grinding) account for 0.5 pct of U.S. primary energy use, 3.8 pct of total U.S. electricity consumption, and 40 pct of total U.S. mining industry energy use. Large energy saving opportunities have been identified in grinding in particular.

Table 1 shows a comparison of the specific energy values calculated from Eqs.

The equation used for describing the relationship between the t 10 and Ecs is given below. t 10 = A ( 1 - e -b.Ecs ) (1) The specific comminution energy (Ecs) has the units kWh/t and is the energy applied during impact breakage. As the impact energy is varied, so does the t 10. Higher impact energies produce higher values ...
