Introduction and BackgroundIntroduction and Background
Comminution energy efficiency is low (~1-2%).Blasting energy efficiency is about 10-20%.Previous work showed improvement with higher Previous work showed improvement with higher
impact velocities. Tromans (2005) calculated thermodynamically
the following breakage efficiency limits:
Under Tension 66%Under Compression 9%

ConclusionsConclusions
1. 5% efficiency can be obtained by high-velocity impact.
2. Improvement due to both input energy and velocity.
3. Efficiency peaks at a velocity of about 250 ms-1.
4. Attrition breakage and crack propagation occur together.
5. Higher efficiency possible if compaction can be avoided.
-
ConclusionsConclusions
6. Trend in energy efficiency vs. velocity is conserved regardless of target bed length, sample size distribution, or the type of projectile.
7. Peak efficiency drops from 5% to 3% as F80 size drops
8. Mass appears to be more important than impact velocity.
9. For rock-on-rock impacts, trend in combined energy efficiency is similar to a projectile that remains intact.
10. Future testwork will study redesigning the chamber to enhance transfer of compression to tensile stresses.
