CRUSHED MUST [8 records]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
  • Grain Growing
  • Seed Plants (Spermatophyta)
CONT

Freshly harvested "green" wild rice is invariably on the damp side. It must commence drying, or "curing, "almost immediately, or souring and mold will develop, especially in broken or crushed grains. Another purpose of the curing period is to give the immature grains a chance to ripen. Given this opportunity, a good number of the soft grains will get hard and gain the dark brown or black color of a ripe grain.

If a sludge incinerator is used(for instance, a multiple hearth furnace), the refuse must first be finely crushed. If a garbage incinerator is used, the sludge must be powdered so that it can be mixed with the refuse and the incinerator must be designed to prevent the unburnt sludge from passing too quickly into the ash-pit.

Subject field(s)
  • Sports Facilities and Venues

CONT

The easiest way to lay out a sand volleyball court is on the beach, but not everyone has this luxury. ... Beach volleyball is an Olympic sport, and sand courts meet Olympic specifications for dimension, depth and net height. The court should be 59 feet, or 18 m, long. It should be 29 1/2 feet, or 9 m, wide, which is half the distance of its length.

CONT

The recommended sand requirements for beach volleyball court installations must have the following properties : be naturally weathered; be sub angular/rounded; not be acquired from a crushed rock source.

Subject field(s)
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
  • Processing of Mineral Products
DEF

In mineral processing, the production of a concentrate from its ore, or the process of increasing concentration by evaporation.

CONT

The concentration of ores always proceeds by steps or stages. Thus the ore must be crushed before the mineral can be separated, and certain preliminary steps, such as sizing and classifying, must precede the final operations, which produce the finished concentrates.

CONT

Concentration of the crude ore.

Les procédés de concentration de minerai sont nombreux et variés. Il s'agit dans tous les cas de profiter des différences de comportement entre minéraux de nature différente lorsqu'ils sont soumis à une sollicitation extérieure, pour les séparer. Ces sollicitations peuvent être de nature physique (électrique, magnétique, mécanique ...) ou physico-chimique (flottation, hydrométallurgie ...).

  • Mineralogy
CONT

X-ray powder diffraction is used in the identification of crystalline phases in unknown samples, finding the lattice parameter and other lattice related information, quantitative determination of phases in multiphase samples, finding the orientation in single crystals, and stereographic projections. The samples must be crystalline solids such as metals, ceramics, rocks etc. These samples are usually about 1 mg in size. If the sample fits in the sample holder then there is no preparation necessary otherwise the sample may have to be crushed in order to fit. The sample takes less than one hour to be analyzed for qualitative analysis in major phases and up to 16 hours for trace phases. The quantitative analysis can take several minutes to several hours after set up. There are several detectors used in XRPD varying from films to cameras to diffractometers.

CONT

Powder X-Ray Diffraction. Powders of crystalline materials diffract X-Rays. A beam of X-rays passing through a sample of randomly-oriented micro-crystals produces a pattern of rings on a distant screen. Powder X-Ray diffraction provides less information than single-crystal diffraction, however, it is much simpler and faster. Powder X-Ray diffraction is useful for confirming the identity of a solid material and determining crystallinity and phase purity. Modern powder X-Ray diffractometers consist of an X-Ray source, a movable sample platform, an X-Ray detector, and associated computer-controlled electronics. The sample is either packed into a shallow cup-shaped holder or deposited as a slurry onto a quartz substrate, and the sample holder spins slowly during the experiment to reduce sample heating. The X-Ray source is usually the same as used in single-crystal diffractometers, Mo or Cu. The X-Ray beam is fixed and the sample platform rotates with respect to the beam by an angle theta. The detector rotates at twice the rate of the sample and is at an angle of 2 theta with respect to the incoming X-Ray beam.

CONT

Fine particles such as clays must be separated from larger particles and measured separately if they are to be detected properly. To reduce errors associated with preferred orientation of minerals, samples are most commonly ground to a powder before analysis, a technique known as powder X-ray diffraction.

CONT

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a direct method for qualitative and quantitative characterization of fine-grained materials such as clinker and cement, and may also be used for analysis of raw materials. Each phase produces a unique diffraction pattern independent of others, with the intensity of each pattern proportional to that phases concentration in a mixture.
