A comparative analysis of steel and alumina balls in fine milling of ...
This study explored the breakage kinetics of cement clinker in a labscale ball mill loaded with steel or alumina balls of 20, 30, and 40 mm sizes and their mixtures. The temporal evolution of the particle size distribution (PSD) was measured by sieving and laser diffraction. A global optimizerbased backcalculation method, based on a population balance model (PBM), was developed to estimate ...
