Basics
- May need better naming?
- This page aims to determine how fine a powder/how small the particle size can be with various methods
- The main OSE applications are:
- Various Chemistry Uses
- Slurry Fuels
- Open Source Charcoal Powder , and the Open Source Dust Burner / [Open Source Powder Burner]] (forgot name)
- SLS, SLM, EBM, SPD, Powder Bed and Inkjet Head 3D Printing, and other Powder Bed Based 3D Printing Processes (metal/plastic powders)
- Potential OSE Workflow:
- Shredder and/or hammermill
- Ball mill/rod mill/autogenous mill/semi autogenous mill
- Anything to get a finer powder or just more time?
- Supposedly enough time, and perhaps Elutriation (Air classifier etc) can produce even Nanoparticles
Methods and Corrosponding Data
Ball Mill
Rod Mil
Spray Dryer
Hammermill
Autogenous mill
SAG mill
- Semi-Autogenous mill, essentially a hybrid of ball and autogenous
Grinding Roll Mill
Buhrstone mill
VSI Mill
- Similar method to a kitchen garbage disposal/centrifugal fruit juicer?
