Summary
The course is devoted to the basics of processes associated with crumbling and sorting of raw materials. Attention is paid to individual types of crushing and sorting equipment, their design and determination of performance parameters. Possibilities of deployment of individual machines in raw material processing technologies are analyzed.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students are able to describe the basic operations of grinding, sorting, classification and solid phase separation. They are oriented in the basic methods of technological tests connected with the modification of the granularity of utility raw materials.Students are able to choose the appropriate type of equipment and perform basic technological calculations.
