Effect of Different High-energy Grinding Technologies on Granulometric and Crystallographic Properties of Portland Cement

Abstract

The present article deals with the effect of different high-energy grinding technologies through available laboratory mills on Portland cement's granulometric and crystallographic properties. Two types of commonly available laboratory mills were selected, namely the planetary mill and the vibratory mill. The type of laboratory mill used, the grinding environment, and the grinding time were monitored. The planetary laboratory mill with 10 mm in diameter grinding steel balls proved to be more efficient in the scope of material reduction, which effectively reduces the material, especially during wet grinding of the material. The agglomeration effect is significantly reduced, which is a big advantage of method of wet grindingThe present article deals with the effect of different high-energy grinding technologies through available laboratory mills on Portland cement's granulometric and crystallographic properties.
