MICROWAVE ACTED MICRO GRINDING OF ŞIRNAK ASPHALTITE SLIME, LIGNITE SLIME

Abstract

In terms of the advanced technological developments in energy production the low quality coals need the most feasible technologies. it is possible to produce coal-derived products from low quality coals. On the contrary of environmental concerns of low quality coal burning, coal preparation, grinding and washing of various type of low quality coals need feasible evaluation. The grinding systems are needed in today's modern technology. In this fine grinding study, Hardgrove and Bond grindability tests are practiced over Şırnak shale, Şırnak asphaltites and bottom ash. Grinding tests ere carried out to certain weight samples conditioned in microwave oven at the fine size values in the product. The duration period are changed after grinding for 60 and 90 minutes. Şırnak asphaltite and Şırnak shale were dry milled in two different horizontal and vertical roller mills in different micro-grinders and the fineness values of 20 μm and 45 μm are determined and compared. The unit energy consumption for different types of clinker production in industrial mills has been calculated and presented comparatively. The differences in the grindability of raw materials and the amount of energy consumed in cement production were determined by experimental and industrial tests. The easiest to grind is Şırnak asphaltite and shale, while the most difficult to grind is marl. As a result of the HGI and Bond tests, they are the decisive tests in industrial-scale grinding of cement. Since materials that are easy to grind are evaluated, it has been observed in this study that clinkers with additives produced using claystone are more advantageous. Micronized grinding of soft limestone instead of marly limestone has proven to be easy. The particle size functions in the micro pulp are defined in the vertical ball mill. In the production of additive Portland cement, micronized grinding of oak charcoal and fly ash with microwave requires less energy and can be grinded more easily.
