An experimental study on the ultra-fine grinding of gypsum ore in a dry ball mill
Özet
Gypsum is a crystalline form of hydrated calcium sulfate (CaSO4·2H20) generally used in cements and plasters in the construction industry, though also in paints, fertilizers, medicines, papers, and textiles. For use in these materials, gypsum must be ground finely (<100 ?m), if not ultra-finely (<10 ?m), for which ball mills are most effective. Despite gypsum's widespread use and the regular need to grind it, studies concerning the grinding of gypsum ore remain scarce. In response, in this study, we have systematically investigated how certain grinding parameters (i.e., mill speed, ball filling ratio, ball size distribution, powder filling ratio, grinding aid ratio, and grinding time) of conventional dry ball mills affect the grindability of gypsum ore. We determined the properties of the micronized gypsum products obtained in optimal grinding conditions, and the results showed that the dry ball mill grinding process can effectively produce ultra-fine gypsum products. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Investigation of the cyanide leaching optimization for ultrafine grinding gold–silver ore
In recent years, the ultrafine grinding (UFG) process has become increasingly important for the recovery of precious metals (especially for Au and Ag) from raw ores. It is well known that cyanide leaching of gold–silver ... -
Effect of natural aging on RT and HSR superplasticity of ultrafine grained Zn-22Al alloy
Demirtas M.; Purcek G.; Yanar H.; Zhang Z.; Zhang Z.-F. (Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2016)Zn–22Al alloy was processed using a well-designed two-step equal channel angular extrusion/pressing (ECAE/P), and ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructure with 200 nm grain size was achieved. UFG Zn-22Al was subjected to ... -
High temperature superplasticity and deformation behavior of naturally aged Zn-Al alloys with different phase compositions
Demirtas M.; Kawasaki M.; Yanar H.; Purcek G. (Elsevier Ltd, 2018)Two Zn-Al alloys, eutectoid Zn-22Al and dilute Zn-0.3Al, were processed through equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP). The ECAP-processed alloys were subjected to long-term natural aging at room temperature for 120 days ...
