    Roller mills have come to be actively used for the production of fine particles. In this paper, stress conditions in a roller mill were simulated by the slow compression of powder beds between parallel platens, and compressive crushing of brittle materials in powder beds was also carried out to fundamentally study the grinding mechanism of a roller mill. The effect of the feed size on the production of fine particles was investigated when the applied load and the mass of the feed were constant. The crushing energy is defined as the energy input in a powder bed. The specific crushing energy to produce fine particles (the crushing resistance) was experimentally calculated. The samples used were limestone, quartz, and quartz glass.
    The following results were obtained:
    (1) When the applied load and the mass of feed were constant, the feed size with a minimum deformation of powder beds was observed.
    (2) The size distribution of the crushed product changed depending on the kinds of solids, and the difference in the size distributions increased with the decrease in the feed size.
    (3) The feed size with the same mass of micronized product was observed and found to have a certain range. This range was enlarged with the decrease in the size of the product.
    (4) The specific crushing energy to produce fine particles changed with the kinds of solids and feed size.
    (5) Then, in order to produce micronized particles for a higher energy utilization by a roller mill, it is necessary to evaluate the grindability of materials in advance.

    Aluminium nitride (AlN) powders are thermodynamically unstable in an aqueous system. Polyamide (Nylon) coating of the carbothermic method AlN powders can confer a great degree of water-resistibility on them. However, nylon coated powders have high organic contents including chloroform and show bad formability. Moreover, this method cannot be applied to direct nitridation AlN powders.
    In this study, we succeeded in nylon coating both direct nitridation and carbothermic method AlN powders by a new preparation method, carrying out polymerization at the solid-liquid boundary after fixing a monomer on the surface by drying. As a result, the nylon coated powders have low organic contents with no chloroform and show good formabilty.
    In addition, the sintered bodies of the nylon coated powders which were prepared with oxidation treatment of the direct nitridation AlN powders were found to contain Al2Y4O9 and to have high thermal conductivity.

    In order to apply hydrodynamic fields to the shape separation of fine particles, the dependencies of dynamic properties of particles in a cyclone on the particle shape were discussed. Glass beads, glass powders, silica sands and mica particles in a 10-100μm size range were classified into five fractions by wet cylclones. The equivalent diameters of classified particles were measured by a free settling method, and the geometric parameters were obtained from SEM microphotos. The Stokes diameters in free settling were in agreement with the mean values which were estimated for an ellipsoid and a thin disc to settle in random orientation. On the other hands, Stokes diameters in the cyclones were smaller than those in free settling. The discrepancy between these diameters was large especially for flaky mica particles, suggesting that a cyclone can be used to separate flaky particles from blocky ones.
