Size Reduction by Grinding as an Important Stage in Recycling Marek Macko Casimir the Great University in Bydgoszcz Poland 1. Introduction Today, the issue of size reduction methods are one of the important fields of research as regards processing and recycling problems as growing post-use waste volume is becoming more widespread.

SIZE REDUCTION Raw materials often occur in sizes that are too large to be used and, therefore, they must be reduced in size. This size reduction operation can be divided into two major categories depending on whether the material is a solid or a liquid. If it is solid, the operations are called

a. Grinding theories: The first attempt to relate size reduction to energy consumption was that of Rittinger (1867) who postulated that the energy consumption for size reduction is proportional to the area of the new surface produced. Later, Kick (1885) proposed _that the energy required for size reduction is proportional to the reduction

The RETSCH pulverizer range covers applications from the preliminary size reduction of particles of several centimeters to fine grinding down to the nano range. Retsch Pulverizer Mill. A good pulverizer guarantees reproducible sample preparation, which is the basis for any reliable and accurate laboratory analysis.

Size reduction Size reduction is a process of reducing large solid unit masses - vegetables or chemical substances into small unit masses, coarse particles or fine particles. Size reduction is commonly employed in pharmaceutical industries. Size reduction process is also referred to as Comminution and Grinding.

4.1 Size reduction of solid foods 4.1.1 Theory In all types of size reduction there are three types of force used to reduce the size of foods: 1. compression forces 2. impact forces 3. shearing (or attrition) forces. In most size reduction equipment, all three forces are present, but often one is more important than the others.

The controlled reduction of a material's particle size by milling, grinding or micronising to achieve the required end product is a vital commercial process.. Whether particle size reduction is required as an economical means of improving solubility, to increase dissolution rates or to improve batch-to-batch consistency and performance, British Rema can offer a solution.

Size ReductionA major step in the polymer development procedure occurs when the individual resin pellets are ground to a fine powder.

size reduction. The diameter of the balls used in ball mills play a significant role in the improvement and optimization of the efficiency of the mill [4]. The optimum rotation speed of a mill, which is the speed at which optimum size reduction takes place, is determined in terms of the percentage of the critical speed of the mill [8].
