In the previous paper, the authors studied the effects of hardness of samples and feed weight on grinding rate constants from the kinetic point of view. In the present paper, we studied their effects on rate constant of specific surface increase.
The samples used were silica glass, borosilicate glass, soda glass, quartz, feldspar, limestone, marble, gypsum and talc. The pebble mill consisted of a 12.8cm-diameter by 13.2cm-long cylinder and 40 balls of 3cm diameter having the total weight of 1180g. The tests were done at the speed of 88.1% of critical one and with the feed size of -14+20mesh. Assuming that the shape factor is six, the specific surface of fine particles was measured by the permeability method and that of coarse particles was calculated from the size distribution.
As the result, the following equation was obtained.
K
s=17H
V-0.58·W
s-1.5where
Ks is the rate constant of specific surface increase of zero order kinetics,
HV the dimensionless Vickers hardness and
Ws the dimensionless feed weight.
To obtain
Ks from the first order rate constant of feed size decrease
K1, the following equation was derived.
