Abstract
AbstractSodium polyacrylates permit a higher solids concentration during grinding, reducing the resulting particle size and/or specific energy consumption. Their impact on fine and ultrafine grinding of limestone was studied. Sodium polyacrylate with a low polydispersity index was found to be the most effective grinding aid for limestone and consequently applied for further nano‐grinding experiments. Nano‐grinding was most energy‐efficient with the smallest grinding medium size. These ground nano‐sized CaCO3 particles with sodium polyacrylate on the surface accelerated the hydration of ordinary Portland cement cement paste.
