Le CERILH étudie un broyeur à projection(broyeur centrifuge sous vide) plus performant que les broyeurs classiques à boulets. Ce nouveau broyeur permet d’obtenir un broyage plus sélectif des matériaux(courbe granulométrique plus resserrée, cassure différente des grains) et ainsi de mieux utiliser les propriétés hydrauliques du clinker de cimenterie.(Enjeux, no 39, septembre 1983, p. 59.) 1, record 4, French, - broyeur%20%C3%A0%20projection

Stress cracks result from the excessive heating and rapid cooling of a corn kernel, and can be avoided by lowering the drying temperature and lengthening the cooling time. Corn is used in numerous food, feed, and industrial products. The three most popular uses include livestock feed, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and ethanol. Future uses of corn may include the use of corn kernels to produce and store genetically produced pharmaceuticals and industrial enzymes.

Les fissures sont attribuables à la chaleur excessive à laquelle est soumis le grain et à son refroidissement rapide; on peut les prévenir en abaissant la température de séchage et en prolongeant le temps de refroidissement. Le maïs est utilisé dans une foule de produits alimentaires, d’aliments pour animaux et de produits industriels. Cependant, il est surtout utilisé dans les aliments pour le bétail et pour produire le sirop de maïs à haute teneur en fructose et l’éthanol. En outre, les grains de maïs pourraient servir à la production et à l’entreposage de produits pharmaceutiques et d’enzymes industrielles mis au point par génie génétique.

Granular fracture can be subclassified as transgranular fracture or intergranular fracture.
