Discrete particle simulation of particle flow in a stirred mill / C.T. Jayasundara in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 51 N° 2 (Janvier 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 51 N° 2 (Janvier 2012) . - pp. 1050-1061 Titre : Discrete particle simulation of particle flow in a stirred mill : Effect of mill properties and geometry Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : C.T. Jayasundara, Auteur ; R.Y Yang, Auteur ; A. B. Yu, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1050-1061 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Solids  flow Résumé : Particle flow in a stirred mill was modeled using discrete element method, focusing on the effect of mill properties and stirrer configurations, such as particle-wall friction, the size of disc holes, distance between stirrers, and stirrer shape, on the flow properties of grinding media. The flow properties were analyzed in terms ofvelocity field, porosity distribution, collision frequency, collision energy, impact energy, and power draw. The results indicate that although particle-wall sliding friction coefficient affects the energy transfer from discs to particles, too high a sliding friction may lead to a decrease in energy efficiency. The distance between discs significantly affects the circulation of grinding media between discs. Among the different stirrer types considered, energy transfer is more effective when disc holes are present. Pin stirrer shows increased grinding rates which also results in relatively high power consumption. Although different collision environments exist with different stirrer types, it is shown that the grinding rate can be determined by the first-order kinetics where the rate constant is dependent on the impact energy, for a given material. Grinding efficiency has been compared for different grinding materials under different operating conditions. The results suggest that selection of stirrer geometry also depends on the feed size and the type of material to be ground. Discussion has also been made of the usefulness of particle scale information in the design and control of stirred mills of different types.

Effect of slurry properties on particle motion in IsaMills / C.T. Jayasundara in Minerals engineering, Vol. 22 N° 11 (Octobre 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Minerals engineering > Vol. 22 N° 11 (Octobre 2009) . - pp. 886–892 Titre : Effect of slurry properties on particle motion in IsaMills Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : C.T. Jayasundara, Auteur ; R.Y. Yang, Auteur ; B.Y. Guo, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 886–892 Note générale : Génie Minier Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mineral  processing  Discrete  element  method  Computational  fluid  dynamics  IsaMill™  Stirred  mill Résumé : IsaMill™ is a high-speed stirred mill for a range of milling duties from ultra-fine to relatively coarse grinding in the mineral processing industry. This work investigated particle and slurry flow in a mill using a combined Discrete Element Method and Computational Fluid Dynamics (DEM-CFD) approach. Slurry properties, such as flow density and viscosity, were varied to study their effects on the flow properties in terms of flow velocity, power draw, collision frequency, collision energy and total impact energy. Significant differences were observed when slurry was introduced and other conditions unchanged. With increasing density, fluid and particle flows showed stronger circulation in the axial direction due to the larger drag forces. Increased relative velocity and interaction between particles with disc led to higher collision frequency and collision energy. Increase in flow viscosity limited particles from moving towards the outer wall and the particles were more dispersed due to the larger circulating velocity in the axial direction. The total impact energy of the media and power draw also increase with slurry density and viscosity. The developed model provides a useful framework for further analysis of particle–slurry interactions in IsaMills™.
