Calcium carbonate is an important inorganic compound and is widely used in industrial production. Among them, the grinding of calcium carbonate is a very critical process link. The purpose of grinding is to control the size and shape of the raw material particles within a certain range to meet the needs of industrial production. There are two main methods for grinding calcium carbonate: dry grinding and wet grinding.
Dry grinding refers to grinding under waterless conditions. The basic principle of dry grinding is to put the raw material particles into the grinder and grind them by mechanical force. Among them, the commonly used grinders include ball mills, grinding mills and vibration mills. The ball mill is a commonly used grinder. Its grinding principle is to put the raw material particles into the grinding balls and grind them by the collision and friction between the balls and the grinding wall.
The advantage of dry grinding is high grinding efficiency and the ability to grind the raw material particles quickly and evenly. The disadvantage is that it is easy to generate dust, which has a certain impact on the health of the operator. At the same time, since there is no lubricant in the dry grinding process, it is easy to wear the grinder and shorten the life of the equipment.
Wet grinding refers to grinding in the presence of water. The basic principle of wet grinding is to put the raw material particles into the grinder, add an appropriate amount of water and lubricant, and grind them through mechanical force and liquid action. Commonly used wet grinders include bead mills, three-roll mills, etc. Bead mills are grinders that use grinding beads to grind raw material particles. They have the advantages of high grinding efficiency, uniform grinding, and high grinding precision.
The advantage of wet grinding is that there is a lubricant in the grinding process, which can reduce the wear of the grinder and extend the life of the equipment. At the same time, wet grinding can also reduce dust generation and have a certain protective effect on the health of operators. The disadvantage is that water and lubricants need to be added during the grinding process, which increases the cost.
Calcium carbonate grinding is an indispensable link in industrial production. Dry grinding and wet grinding are commonly used grinding methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing a grinding method, it is necessary to choose according to specific production needs and equipment conditions. At the same time, attention should be paid to operating specifications during the grinding process to ensure grinding effect and operation safety.
