Study on the unsaturated grinding of quartz sand
While dry and saturated milling processes have been extensively studied for their applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and mining industries, the comminution of unsaturated granular materials remains poorly understood and requires further research. This short paper investigates the comminution of unsaturated versus dry quartz sand as a model medium by analyzing particle size distributions. Deconvoluting these distributions allows us to track both fine and coarse particles, thus improving our understanding of how water influences their grinding processes.
