Introduction

Particle breakage



Conclusions


Size reduction is often an important step in CDW recycling

It allows control of particle size and (to a certain extent) also of particle shape and even composition…

Understanding particle breakage can shed light into some important aspects of CDW size reduction:◦ Breakage distribution and breakage energy

◦ Differential breakage

◦ Phase liberationFratura aleatória Fratura intergranular

Introduction

Particle breakage



Conclusions


Stressing of CDW particles in comminution devices occursunder a variety of conditions:

Number of stressing points:◦ Single (impact against a target)

◦ Double

Stressing rate:◦ Slow compression

◦ Impact

Single impact Double impact Slow compression

Drop weightPneumatic gun

Drop test Pendulum

Impact load cellRotary impact tester

Press Point-load tester

Rigidly-mounted roll mill

Tavares, 2007. Handbook of Powder Technology, vol. 12, ch. 1


The outcome of stressing can be either:◦ Surface breakage and internal damage

◦ Volume (body) breakage

Introduction

Particle breakage



Conclusions


Single particle breakage characterization could help assessing potential of differential comminution of CDW…

Present-day crusher models can be used to optimize CDW crushing in industry

Advanced (DEM-based) crusher models can be used to predict CDW crushing and degradation during mixing

Ultrafine grinding of CDW could be used to deal with porosity/heterogeneity issues
