ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE GRINDABILITY OF K-FELDSPAR BY THE FULL FACTORIAL DESIGN
Abstract
This study's aim is to investigate the wet and dry grindability of K-feldspar in a narrow grain size range in a stirred ball mill. In the evaluation of the grinding process, a full factorial design was used to observe the effects of the selected parameters on the dependent variable. On a narrow grain size range grinding, the parameter effects such as ball diameter, stirring speed, grinding time, and interstitial filling ratio were investigated. Experimental results showed that K-feldspar can be efficiently milled with a stirred ball mill in a narrow grain size range (1-10 microns).
