Definitions

  • the bed is preferably a moved compact bed arranged so that the material to be ground is fed sideways into the jet.
  • Asifter or classifier for the coarse and fine material produced in the grinding operation is arranged above the bed of material in the grinding chamber or zone
  • the compact bed of material may be moved in a variety of ways, and the volume occupied by it is filled up to the greater part with compact granular material. This could be defined as the ratio of wholly occupied volume to the volume of the compact matter, or by the term compact current" as commonly employed in the pneumatic trans portation art.
  • the present invention relates to jet mills and, in particular, to the mill-type in which the material to be comminuted is fed into a gas jet of high velocity wherein such material is disintegrated by interparticle impact.
  • a jet mill and its operation according to the invention is distinct from known types of mills in which the material to be ground is speeded up in an injector or by means of a gas jet, and subsequently disintegrated by impact upon a baffle plate or by collision with material from a jet of the same kind moving in counter direction.
  • Known types of jet mills have in their interior, in addition to the gas jet for obtaining size reduction, a circulating current of the disintegrating gas by which the material to be comminuted is constantly refed to the gas jets, and the material which has been sufficiently reduced in size is separated and carried out of the mill.
  • a very small quantity of material is brought into the jet, especially in fine grinding processes that require high velocities and classification of the ground material;
  • the efflux velocity of the jets at the nozzles is reduced by the counterpressure of the classifier, and because of high turbulence in the mill, the classifier or sifter operates inefficiently so that it is necessary to run it an extremely high velocity requiring considerable consumption of pressure to obtain sifting at a high fineness of grain.
  • the gas jets are directed from the top down onto the surface of a bed of material to be ground which is constantly renewed with the aid of a mechanical transport means.
  • the design provided in this patent has presented some mechanical difficulties which up to the present have not been overcome.
  • the jet mill comprises a grinding chamber with a jet or jets mounted in its lower portion, the chamber providing a grinding zone in which the granular material to be ground is comprised of a compact bed in which the gas jet nozzle is located and from which a gas jet emanates with high velocity.
  • granular material is in the state of a moved compact bed which is preferably moved sideways into the gas jet emanating from the nozzle which is located beneath the surface of the bed.
  • the energy of the jet is used up to disintegrate the granular material in the bed, and while a sitter or classifier may be arranged above the bed, it is not operated by the impetus or velocity of the gas jet.
  • moved compact bed of material includes all varieties of motion of a granular material, the occupied volume of which is filled up to the greater part with compact matter. It could be defined as the ratio of the wholly occupied volume to the volume of the compact matter or by the term compact current" as usually used in pneumatic transportation.
  • Examples for the motion in the compact bed are: the displacing of a solid bed as a whole with the aid of a moved support such as, e.g., a conveying belt;
  • the scope of the basic invention comprehends a plurality of configurations and arrangements such as, e.g., for wear protection, arrangement of nozzles, means for material circulation, sitters and propellants which can be interconnected in a unit-composition manner, the most advantageous of which are described in connection with the drawings.
  • a wear protection can be obtained by en-- larging the air volume above the surface of the material bed so that air resistance and gravity are sufficient to retard the flying grains of material.
  • the wear by impact upon the mill wall then will be tolerable.
  • This arrangement is especially suitable for very fine feed material because of the short stopping distance of the grains in the air.
  • an armour-plate may be provided, such as, e. g., an easily exchangeable baffle plate arranged vertically to the direction of the jet and above the surface of the material bed. This is particularly suitable as an additional provision in case of a precious product that admits of only a small charge of material, or if the charge occasionallyis not present, e. g., if the mill is emptied.

  • a signal or control switch 71 is oper ated by the tracer arm if the impellent power of the ascending jet of air and material acting on the baffle plate exceeds a definite value, that can be fixed by adjusting the position of a sliding weight 69.
  • the level tracer shown in FIG. 19, or other types of level tracers, such as radioactive emitters or weighing types, may be used so that it is possible to control the level of the body of material in the mill chamber and correlate it with the said return and grinding output.
  • the control 71 may be used to actuate the feeder which may also be responsive to the return grinding output.
  • the jet discharging from the nozzle is retarded in the bed of material. If the baffle plate 67 is affected by a force, it is an indication that the jet may be breaking through the material bed because the level is too low. This force will actuate the switch 71 and cause an increase in the feed return.
  • a fluidized bed is employed and the material ascends therefrom upwardly in a strong jet.
  • a baffle plate such as that shown in FIG. 19, located at a predetermined height, receives an impellent power from the jet which is the greater, the higher the level of material in the chamber. If there is a decrease of power applied to the baffle plate below a certain point, this point may serve as a signal point for operating the control 71.
  • the material in the mill must generally be fed to the jet several times to complete reduction.
  • the mill therefore, runs with a high inner circulation rate by which the unground material thrown out by the jet is constantly re-fed to the jet. Also the coarse material that had been rejected by the sifter is brought back to the jet. Consequently, the following currents of material are circulating in a mill unit according to the present invention:
  • the currents numbered 2, 3 and 4 represent the inner circulation.
  • any suitable conveying devices can be used.
  • the material may be fed into the jet by a stirrer that necessarily must be designed in such a manner that it never can be hit by the jet.
  • a stirrer with a perpendicular axis and nozzles spaced around said stirrer may be used as illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • Such a ring of nozzles that has a diameter of l m, in which the nozzle diameter is 5 mm and the circular pitch is mm, yields a clear opening of the nozzles of 63 cm by which, at a throughput of compressed air of 38 tons per hour and a jet power of about 1,300 kW can be obtained.
  • part of the same material was ground in a conventional spiral jet mill of the type known first under the trademark MI- CRONIZER," having the characteristic features: Outside diameter of the grinding chamber 200 mm, six nozzles each with an opening of 2.5 mm, one injector nozzle with an inner width of 3.8 mm.
  • the jet output that could be obtained by adiabatic expansion was calculated out from the measured pressure of the compressed air and the cross section area of the nozzles. It is represented by the intelligible unit jet-kW.”
  • the grinding efficiency is defined by the specific power consumption in jet-kwhlkm which is the ratio that the expenditure for the grinding process bears to the grinding result.
  • the mixture of air and material ascended as a strong jet with a diameter of about 5 cm vertically upward out from the bed, but at such a low velocity that no wear of the paint on the sifting rotor was visible at the area of impact. Wear was perceptible only on the periphery of the sifting rotor because of its circumferential speed.
  • the values of mass transportation and velocity of the ascending jet could be estimated inexactly at 35 t/h and 2.5 5 m/sec.
  • the gaseous grinding or fluid agent for disintegrating granular material by inter'particle impact according to the present invention may be compressed where as described either at ambient temperature or in a heated or cold condition. Water vapor at any suitable temperature or inert gas may be used. Since the jet mill according to this invention may be built up in a size that allows working with several thousand kilowats, the outlet of a gas turbine may be employed as the gaseous medium in a compressed and heated condition. A gas turbine would have many advantages over the use of steam boilers or internal combustion engines while at the same time providing an effective grinding aid.
  • the jet mill according to the present invention allows the material bed to be rated in height and width so large that the kinetic energy of the jet is unable to force any grain through the whole bed.
  • the mill may be filled up with so much material that wear, even on a plate above the bed, is not noticeable.
  • a surplus material in the mill, that has no detrimental effect at all, may represent a valuable reserve in case of varying conditions of work.
  • the disintegrating gas emerges bubble-shaped throwing up fountains of material as in a fluidized bed. As these fountains are not produced by the kinetic energy of the jet, but by the pressure drop within the material bed, they move so slowly that they virtually cause no wear in the mill.
  • This method of working presents the advantage of eliminating any wear phenomena in the jet mill and of fully utilizing the kinetic energy of the jet and of the accelerated particles for interparticle impact and for size reduction. In addition, there is a minimum of noise effects. In most cases it is not necessary to pile up excess material in the mill in order to use up the whole kinetic energy of the jet and of the particles of the material acted on by the jet.
  • the jet creates a cavity that is entered from the side by the grains of the material being conveyed by the transporting systems that are provided for the process of circulation in the mill chamber. These grains are accelerated by the jet and, at a sufficient height of the bed, they are thrust entirely into the unmoved part of the bed, thereby effecting the process of size reduction by consumption of the kinetic energy.
  • the impellent power of the jet presses against the lower part of the bed, thereby diminishing the pressure of it upon the base of the mill.
  • the weight of the bed within the range of action above the jet should be at least equal to the impetus of the jet, thus determining the minimum height of the bed. In practice it must necessarily be higher according to a certain safety factor to prevent shooting through gaps and chimneys.
  • the gas jet either ascends after being retarded, in diffuse state between the grains or forms clefts and chimneys from which grains may secondarily fly upwards. Their speed is, however, so low that they do not cause any wear since the only accelerating power acting upon them is the fall of pressure inside the bed.
  • this emerging jet may still carry a large amount of the impellent power of the original gas jet, its velocity is so low and its mass so voluminous that it is no longer capable of causing any wear. Therefore, in a fluidized bed it is enough to pile up the material so high that the jet of material still ascending with part of the impetus of the original gas jet does not cause any wear at any area of contact with the mill surface. This relation to the spot of striking is important for the reason that the jet emerging from the bed already with a low speed is further retarded by gravity.
