The impact behavior between the charge and lifter has significant effect to address the mill processing, and is affected by various factors including mill speed, mill filling, lifter height and media shape. To investigate the multi-body impact load behavior, a series of experiments and Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations were performed on a laboratory-scale mill, in order to improve the g...

Water washing of cottonseed meal is more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly than protein isolation by means of alkaline extraction and acidic precipitation. Thus, water-washed cottonseed meal (WCSM) is more promising as biobased wood adhesives. In this work, we examined the effects of the particle size on the morphology and adhesive performance of WCSM. Pilot-scale produced and dried W...

The harsh and hostile internal environment of semi-autogenous (SAG) mills renders real-time monitoring some critical variables practically unmeasured. Typically, feed size fractions are known to cause mill fluctuations impede the consistent processing behaviour ores. There is, therefore, need for continuous parameters optimal operation. In this paper, an acoustic-based sensing method is employe...

The hyperpolarization-activated inward cationic current (Ih) is known to regulate the rhythmicity, excitability, and synaptic transmission in heart cells and many types of neurons across a variety of species, including some pyloric and gastric mill neurons in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) in Cancer borealis and Panulirus interruptus However, little is known about the role of Ih in regulatin...

The paper utilizes Petri_like_net structure in developing an intelligent expert control system to achieve optimum grinding by regulating the parameters of the grinding mill. The work establishes an appropriate theoretical background that helps to predict dynamic breakage characteristics of particle size distribution of materials, adequately supported by experimental data. Feed forward neural ne...
