The first comminution stage in a mineral processing plant is crushing, which reduces the size of particles from up to 1 m down to 0.5 cm (depending on the type of milling circuit). Crushing is typically a dry process that makes use of Gyratory, Jaw, and Cone crushers ( Napier-Munn et al., 1996 ), which predominantly make use of impact …
