Abstract
ABSTRACT Rock fragmentation is a common physical and mechanical phenomenon that exists in a variety of ranges from the mining and processing. Communication is an important operation in coal processing whereby the coal block coming from coalmines is crushed into fragmentations with reduced size, which accounts for 80% of the electricity consumption of mineral processing circuits. Fragmentation energy, which is related to the coal particle size distribution, is an essential parameter for improving the efficiency of shearer, road-header, and crusher. Coal particles are generally simplified into fine or near spherical shapes for analytical and numerical simulation purposes. This research aims to establish the fragmentation energy calculation model for coal fragmentations with coarse and wide size distribution based on the analysis of size distribution and energy-size relationships of coal particles. It has been demonstrated by the results that the fragmentation energy of impact load crushed coal can be determined based on Rittinger’s theory with fractal or RR model particle size distribution.
