Synthesis of Powders
Published in M. N. Rahaman, Ceramic Processing and Sintering, 2017
In the high-compression roller mill, the material is stressed between two rollers. In principle, the process is similar to a conventional roller mill, but the contact pressure is considerably higher (in the range of 100–300 MPa). The stock of coarse particles is comminuted and compacted. This process must therefore be used in conjunction with another milling process (e.g., ball milling) to produce a powder. Although the process is unsuitable for the production of particle sizes below ~10 μm, it has two significant advantages. First, the energy utilization is fairly good because the mechanical energy supplied to the rollers goes directly into comminuting the particles. For the production of the same size of particles from a stock of coarse particles, the use of a high-energy roller mill in conjunction with a ball mill is more efficient than the use of a ball mill alone. A second advantage is that since only a small amount of material makes contact with the rolls, the wear can be fairly low (e.g., much lower than in ball milling).

In the high-compression roller mill, the material is stressed between two rollers (Figure 2.2). In principle, the process is similar to a conventional roller mill but the contact pressure is considerably higher (in the range of 100–300 MPa). The stock of coarse particles is comminuted and compacted. This process must, therefore, be used in conjunction with another milling process (e.g., ball milling) to produce a powder. While the process is unsuitable for the production of particle sizes below ~10 µm, the energy utilization is fairly good because the mechanical energy supplied to the rollers goes directly into grinding the particles. For the production of the same size of particles from a stock of coarse particles, the use of a high-energy roller mill in conjunction with a ball mill can be more efficient than the use of a ball mill only. Since only a small amount of material makes contact with the rolls, the wear can be low (i.e., much lower than in ball milling).
Modelling of pilot scale vertical roller mill operated in overflow mode
Published in Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy, 2021
Vertical roller mills are widely used in cement production such as grinding of coal, cement raw materials, clinker and also minerals like bauxite, phosphate, magnesite. Control and optimisation of the vertical roller mill systems are gaining importance with its widespread application. Consequently, operational principles and their effects should be assessed in details. Conducting modelling and simulation studies is one of the ways of improving the overall efficiency of the circuits. Initially, relationships between the operational parameters and the model parameters should be developed. Different model structures have been proposed to be applied in modelling the vertical roller mill system. A number of these models were based on theoretical and empirical advances. Among them, empirical models have limited capabilities in simulating the adjusted conditions. Also, approaches were developed based on cement and coal grinding data. Modelling studies that were supported by industrial scale data are limited in the literature.
An investigation of performance characteristics and energetic efficiency of vertical roller coal mill
Published in International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization, 2021
Coal-fired power plants play an important role in the world-wide power generation and meet about 40% of total consumption. Coal-fired power plants are complicated engineering systems that compose of many equipments, including coal handling and preparation, steam boiler, steam turbine, HVAC system, and flue gas cleaning unit (Bhatt et al., 2018: Pronobis et al. 2017). In a coal-fired power plant, one of the main equipment is the coal mill, whose effectiveness influences mainly the whole power plant performance (Shah, Vuthaluru, and Vuthaluru 2009). These plants have a capability to process several coal types like anthracite, bituminous coal or lignite. Vertical roller mills are used for most coal pulverizing and crushing processes in the power plants. Generally, vertical roller coal mill usage has a share of 90%, while ball mill utilization is 10% in the industry (Wang et al. 2009:Woywadt and Sonnen 2012).

From hoppers, the material in proper composition is transported through belt conveyors to the grinding mill where it is powdered and then the powdered material is sucked through induced draft (ID) fans for further storage in silos. The grinding is done by horizontal ball mill, vertical roller mill (VRM) or roller press technology. Ball mill is older technology as compared to VRM and roller press (Accessed August 12, 2016. http://www.lnvtechnology.com/Roller-Press.html; FLSmidth Company Limited 2016).
