Bars and steel wires are the most commonly used methods to achieve maxillomandibular fixation, although there are numerous alternatives described for this same purpose. In cases of edentulous candidates for the conservative ...

Predicting the rock fragmentation obtained in drawpoints or secondary fragmentation is crucial in Block caving application since many engineering decisions are based on this key variable. These can include drawpoints size ...

In this study, sample processing of bulk commodities using an efficient one-step comminution procedure with liquid nitrogen (LN2) was devised and assessed in the analysis of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables. LN2 ...

Comminution is the stage with the largest energy consumption in the mining process. Therefore, several pre-treatments have been proposed to reduce the energy requirements of this stage. This work analyzed the effect of a ...

This paper presents grinding results obtained with a Chilean porphyry copper ore in the ultrasonic nip roll grinder of the US Comminution Center. Comparison with ball milling is performed by scaling-down industrial ball ...
