Publisher's Synopsis
Crushing and grinding (comminution) are central processes in many industries from the production of road making materials to pharmaceuticals. This book is intended for engineers and researchers involved in comminution and discusses the practical problems that occur, as well as describing in some detail methods for mathematical modelling of mill systems. Finally, the author looks ahead to future developments in crushing and grinding. It is the first attempt for many years to give a clear overview of the underlying principles of comminution, the most important recent research advances, and the mechanical methods which ensure improved accuracy.
