    This document provides information about a lab experiment on size reduction using sieve analysis. The introduction discusses size reduction techniques commonly used in industries like crushing, grinding, and milling. The theory section explains how size reduction increases surface area and separates particles. The procedure involves weighing a brick sample, sieving it with different sized meshes, and repeating after milling with small and large balls to compare particle size distributions. Calculations show the weight of sample retained and passing through each sieve size for the crusher, small balls, and large balls trials. A graph compares the passing weight versus diameter for each trial.

    INTRODUCTION

    Size reduction is major unit operation in industries handling


    particulate solid. The industries like mineral
    dressing, paint, cement, bauxite, as well as black powder
    handles large amount solid materials which need to be grinded
    to fine size
    The equipment’s usually used for size reduction are,
    1. Cutting machines like knife cutters, slitters, dicers
    2. Crushers are used for coarse and fine size reduction.
    3. Grinders are used for intermediate and fine size reduction.
    4. Ultrafine grinders like hammer mills, agitated mills, fluid-
    energy mills, etc.
    The basic motive behind performing the size-reduction is to
    make too large to be used solid materials usable.
    Ball Mill
    The equipment to be used for size reduction is ball mill. The
    ball mill is kind of grinder used for intermediate or fine

    Ball mill is a metal cylinder which rotates about its


    horizontal axis. The coarse material charged along with the
    metal balls breaks to fine powder by impact of metal
    balls
    THEORY

    Size reduction of particle is very important and useful in


    many chemical and other industries. This is because:

    • Handling of small particles is easier as compared to that of


    big particles
    • There is an increase in surface area per unit volume, higher
    surface area will enhance the rate of reaction involving solids
    • Entrapped components are separated and may be available
    for further reaction

    We classify particles to remove contaminants and unlike


    particles(wheat from chaff or metal particles from polymers)
    We classify to remove unwanted parts of a size distribution.
    Figure 1 shows the tailing and oversize particles that may be
    removed from a material for a particular purpose

    EQUIPMENTS

    1- Set of sieves,

    2- Sieve shaker

    3- Digital balance

    4- Ball miller

    5- balls
    PROCEDURE

    1 Take about 500g of representative Ground bricks sample,


    the sample should be oven dry.

    2 Note the weight of sample

    3 Place the set of sieve with cover at top and pan at the
    bottom on a sieve Shaker, operate the shaker for 5 to 10
    minutes

    4 Remove the stack of sieve from the shaker and measure


    the weight of Ground bricks retained on each sieve

    5 put the weighted sample in ball miller for about 5 minutes

    6 repeat previous steps but now use large and small balls
    with the sample and put it in the miller

    7 measure the weight obtained by using large and small balls
