Comminution Handbook

Comminution Handbook

"Comminution might well be the great technology of the 21st century, yet only a paucity of information exists on the topic. Alban Lynch has taken it upon himself to address this void, assembling an assortment of industry experts to produce the Comminution Handbook. With contributions from the coal, cement, sulfide and industrial mineral industries, as well as mill manufacturing and modelling groups, this work presents an overview of all aspects of comminution, the process of reducing solid materials via crushing and grinding. It comprises 16 chapters structured around the themes of material attributes, processing equipment, circuit design and circuit optimisation and control. The volume will appeal to professionals who are involved in, or have an interest in, comminution, metallurgy and related fields. It is hoped that the book will present comminution as it is today to those who have the responsibility of improving the technology in the future."--Publisher description, viewed AusIMM website, 7 October 2015.
