Grinding
Grinding constitutes the second stage of fragmentation. It handles already reduced materials (< 10 mm) and brings the particle sizes to micrometric dimensions. It operates through dry or wet (pulp) sorting.
Different techniques to various degrees implement principles such as crushing, impact, attrition and abrasion. This operation, taken as far as the levels of micronisation, can at the extreme lead to the amorphisation of crystalline structures made use of in mechano-chemistry to functionalise the materials (manufacturing of new binders, activation, etc.).

Work Bond Index (WIB)
The Work Bond Index is an index which enables, in accordance with a standardised procedure, the establishing of the energy consumption for the milling of a given material and the dimensioning of the mill. The CTP is equipped with a standard ball mill allowing the establishment of this index. The value obtained corresponds to the theoretical power needed for the milling of a short ton (sh.t, or 907.18 kg) in a ball mill of eight feet in internal diameter, with discharge by overflow, operating through wet sorting in a closed circuit. In Bond’s theory, correction factors are then applied to take into account the standard conditions of the procedure, in particular for the milling conditions or the diameter of the mill.
