AbstractMilling of inorganic particulate solids is a common process in various industries such as mining, chemical, manufacturing, recycling and glass. The milling process is very energy intensive and highly complex. It has therefore been studied extensively in order to improve the energy utilization, predictability and control of the milling behaviour. However, there is little work on man-made materials such as special glass materials. In this research project, the milling of inorganic materials will be investigated. The milling rate, breakage probability distribution, breakage size distribution, fracture surface character and energy utilization will be analysed. The materials to be used are compositional pairs of fused silica α-quartz, lithium disilicate and sodium alumino-silicate.JTNDZGl2JTIwYWxpZ24lM0QlMjJjZW50ZXIlMjIlM0UlM0NpZnJhbWUlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjU2MCUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjMxNSUyMiUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tJTJGZW1iZWQlMkZWQ0plaFg1N0o5TSUzRmF1dG9wbGF5JTNEMSUyNmxvb3AlM0QxJTI2cGxheWxpc3QlM0RWQ0plaFg1N0o5TSUyNiUzRnJlbCUzRDAlMjZhbXAlM0Jjb250cm9scyUzRDAlMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4lM0UlM0MlMkZpZnJhbWUlM0UlM0MlMkZkaXYlM0U=Publications
