The particle size distribution is shown in Fig. 2. Based on these data, we can conclude that low-intensity milling is ineffective in reducing the Fe-Ga particle size (green and blue curves), especially in the case of 2:1 BPR. There is a bimodal particle size distribution with a weak peak around 60–70 µm and a strong peak in large particles.
The results show that with the increase of grinding time, the particle size distribution of cement tends to move towards small particle size, and the specific surface area and …
Particle size distribution. Particle size distribution test of grounded clay bricks obtained using different sample masses was conducted in accordance with the standard [48].

Assessing cement fineness. In the past, cement producers gauged cement fineness (i.e., cement particle size) by evaluating the specific surface area (SSA) or Blaine fineness and the sieve residue at various sizes. However, many producers now use particle size analysis techniques to assess fineness and help monitor the efficiency of the mill.
The aim of this theoretical study is to gain fundamental insights into the impacts of BSD, number of milling compartments, and classifying liner on cement size …
The particle size distribution width was 18.21 μm and 14.89 μm for the milling times of 1 min and 10 min, respectively, that yielded in the highest strength of the aggregates. In comparison, the particle size distribution width was only 5.76 μm, 6.87 μm and 7.78 μm for the milling times of 30 s, 5 min and 10 s, respectively.
1. Introduction. The concrete aggregate industry has historically limited particle size distribution (PSD) analysis, for fine particles, to simply determining the mass fraction of particles passing a sieve with square openings of minimum edge length 0.063 mm (according to EN 933-1 [1]) or 0.075 mm (according to ASTM C136 [2]).The …
Using particle size analysis to control the product properties of cement. Industrial, business or residential buildings, arenas, traffic routes or infrastructure projects – contemporary architecture with its modern buildings is unimaginable without cement-bound materials. As a versatile and permanent binder for concrete, plaster, mortar or ...
Experience tell us that the optimal size distribution is when 60-70% of particles in the overall distribution are within the range of 3-30μm and 10-20% are smaller than 3μm2. In the grinding process, overgrinding creates unnecessary costs; additionally it creates too many particles smaller than … See more

A full-scale three-compartment FL® cement grinding ball mill with dimensions of Ø3.5 × L10 operating in open circuit was sampled to analyse the grinding media effect on specific breakage rate function of particles.Size reduction performance of the ball mill was evaluated with respect to the applied grinding media size.
Too small of a media size or too large of one can decrease the mill efficiency, making the media size dependable on the ground particle size. That is, in the case of a particle size below 10 μm, finer media sizes were more effective, and when the media sizes were between 1.7 and 1.2 mm, efficient grinding was performed [ 24 ].
