Abstract

Email to a Friend
Comminution – the reduction in size of solid materials – is the most energy intensive component of the mining process (Bauer, 2015). It is estimated that comminution consumes around three percent of all electricity generated in the world (Ceecthefuture.org, 2017). On an energy equivalent basis, downstream processing consumes six times more energy than drilling and blasting (Kanchibotla, Sarma et al., 2014).
