Particle Technology
Problem Set 3
SIZE REDUCTION AND SIZE ENLARGEMENT

1. A material is crushed in a Blake jaw crusher such that the average size of particle is reduced
from 30.0 mm to 5.0 mm with the consumption of energy of 23.5 kW/(kg/s). What would be the
consumption of energy needed to crush the same material of average size 75 mm to an average
size of 25 mm:
a. Assuming Rittinger’s Law Applies
b. Assuming Kick’s Law Applies
Which of these results would be regarded as more reliable?

2. In crushing a certain material, the feed is such 80% is less than 64.8 mm in size and the product
size is such that 80% is less than 11.2 mm. The power required is 124 kW. Using the Bond
equation, what is the power required using half the size of the original feed so that 80% is less
than 2.52 mm?

3. The critical speed of a ball mill in rpm whose diameter is 8 in. with grinding balls of diameter ¼
in. is approximately __ rpm.

4. In reference to particle size reduction, discuss the difference between crushing and grinding and
at least (3) examples of products of crushing and grinding.

5. Discuss in detail the coagulation and flocculation process of size enlargement in wastewater.

6. Discuss the following methods of size enlargement and cite examples of industries that utilize
these methods:
a. Spray Drying
b. Prilling
c. Fluidized Beds
d. Drum and Pan Agglomerators
e. Pug Mill and Extruders
f. Elevated Temperatures
g. Pressure Compactions
