Advances in Communition

The document discusses advances in comminution techniques to meet the increased global mineral demand while reducing energy costs. It analyzes particle breakage mechanisms in different mill types, finding that stirred mills are more energy efficient than tumbling mills. The type of grinding media used in stirred mills also influences downstream flotation by changing the particle breakage process. The study differentiated between particle breakage mechanisms and how they form.

Abstract
The mineral requirement all over the world has seen a tremendous increase in the past few years.
Thus, the need of the hour is improvisation in the technique of comminution without
compromising with the energy costs. As a result, there is a dire need of developing improved
economical methodologies which can cater to the needs. For this the various particle breakage
mechanisms were studied. This enabled us to conclude several things. For example, stirred mills
are more energy efficient than tumbling mills. Further, we may add that type of grinding media
in the stirred mills that influences the subsequent flotation due to the change of particle breakage
mechanisms. As a result of this study we differentiated between different particle breakage
mechanisms and how they came into existence.

Key Words: Comminution, particle breakage mechanism, stirred mills, tumbling mills, media, flotation
