The effects of ball size on the determination of breakage parameters of nepheline syenite

Abstract

In this study, the changes in the specific rate of breakage and breakage distribution function of the nepheline syenite sample were investigated by using alloy steel ball in five different sizes. Specific rate of breakage and breakage distribution function values were obtained from the particle size distributions acquired after the grinding periods. As a result of grinding tests, an increase in rate of breakage is observed due to the increase in ball diameter.
