Although particle corner breakage has been proved to be the primary mode of particle breakage for coral sand, current studies of pile penetration have continued to present the particle fracture breakage mode, causing the mechanism of pile behaviours in coral sand to remain unclear. This study investigates the particle corner-breakage effect …

This paper investigates the particle breakage behaviour of a carbonate sand based on single-particle compression experiments with in situ X-ray microtomography scanning (μCT) and a combined finite–discrete element method (FDEM). Specifically, X-ray μCT is applied to extract the information on grain morphology and intra-particle pores of …

Pre-concentration at crushing sizes is a fundamental separation process and a promising solution for the processing of low-grade ores. According to that, it is crucial to develop proper methodologies to assess quantitative mineralogical data of macro-textures and comminuted particles at coarse sizes.

The generation and emission of particulate matter from abrasion industry are subjects of the pollution monitoring by multidisciplinary study involving earth sciences and engineering disciplines. This work investigates the correlation between textural properties of in situ rock with class size distribution and morphology of particles generated after rock …

The BET-SSA and pore volume have a negative correlation with the decreasing particle size, which is attributed to that the crushing process opens closed and inaccessible pores. The measurement results of small coal particles may overestimate the CBM reserves and gas migration capacity.

The comparative study is conducted on both cluster and replacement methods for modeling particle crushing from particles to assembly scale. To achieve this goal, the force-displacement curves obtained in diametric compression tests of both methods and experiments were used to calibrate DEM parameters. Based on the calibrated DEM …

The ratio of carbon monoxide to hydrogen depends on the type of feedstock, its properties and the operating conditions. The overall gasification process includes three major operations, viz. (a) pretreatment of the feedstock (characterization of feedstock, drying, crushing, grinding, pelletization), (b) gasification itself, and (c) gas clean-up.

Many of these systems are related immediately to the crushing of single particles or aggregates of particles. ... preliminary characterization of the range of engineering properties obtainable ...

Abstract. Sand particle crushing generates coarse fragments with size μ d ⩾ 75 μ m and fine fragments, i.e., "fines," with size μ d < 75 μ m . Yet, postcrushing fines …

Crushing characteristics of single particles are the basis of granular material simulation with discrete element method (DEM). To improve the universality …

Soil characterization. The carbonate soils, which were studied in this research, were obtained from the northern shores of the Persian Gulf: one soil was from Bushehr Port (BP), and the other was from Hormuz Island (HI). ... The results showed that the crushing behavior of the sand particles in the undrained condition was similar to …

It is well known that most particle technology studies attempting to predict secondary properties based on primary properties such as size and shape begin with particle characterization, which means the process of determining the primary properties of particles in a wide spectrum from macro to nanoscale. It is a fact that the actual shape …

A well-known class of 1D shape descriptors called "form factors" that are defined based on the particle lengths in three dimensions (i.e. form dimensions), which can be measured rapidly using a ruler or a caliper. A common example of form factors are flatness and elongation. 2D shape descriptors are based on "2D variables", which are ...
