Abstract
The costs related to comminution in the mineral industry are significant, thus representing the main challenge for optimizing such a process. During the last few decades, the technology of High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) has been consolidated as an important alternative for comminution circuits, due to the relatively low operational cost, as well as a relatively high energy efficiency. Due the initial high capital costs, HPGR applications are limited to high-capital projects. However, Metso Outotec has recently developed a relatively low-cost HPGR equipment mainly applied to aggregates segment. Accordingly, this work aims to evaluate the performance of HRC™ HPGR in the production of manufactured sand, based on surveys carried out in an existing industrial plant. The performance assessment indicates that the HRC™ was an adequate alternative for manufactured sand production. The analysis also includes the comparisons of the resulting products based on Brazilian Standards for sands used in concrete and filters.
