The performance of a comminution and classification process depends on the design and
configuration of each process unit, the configuration of the plant, the design of the control …

The discrete element method (DEM) has proven to be a powerful tool to simulate processes
involving particulate material. When simulating materials handling operations that lead to …

The HPGR is properly regarded as one of the most important recent developments in the
field of size reduction. This success is mainly associated to its improved energy efficiency …

The present work introduces a particle replacement model implemented in the commercial
software EDEM to describe breakage of particles. Several model parameters were initially …

The paper shows the preparation of the numerical models necessary for the simulation
mapping of industrial-scale crushers of problematic material, such as copper ore with …

Due to mechanical stress, bulk material is crushed and fines are produced. This can either
be desired in comminution processes or undesired in conveying and storage processes. In …

Abstract The particle based Discrete Element Method (DEM) can be applied to examine
comminution processes. In this study, a DEM framework has been extended to model …

As one of the machines widely used in mining, a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill can
significantly improve the roughing efficiency of rock. But the SAG mill still faces the obstacles …

In order to improve the crushing efficiency of high-pressure roller mill and reduce energy
consumption, the optimal parameter combination of high-pressure roller mill is sought …

Due to mechanical stress during transport and storage, bulk material partly degrades and
fines are produced. This can be problematic in various applications and is often responsible …
