About this document

Particle Size Reduction Techniques by Mekonnen Birhane is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Particle size reduction is necessary to create smaller particles and increase surface area. It is an energy intensive process where around 5% of global electricity is used. There are three main mechanisms of particle fracture - elastic deformation, yielding, and crack propagation. The specific energy required to break particles depends on particle size and follows different scaling relationships in three size regimes. Common machines that use crushing and attrition mechanisms include jaw crushers, gyratory
