The course provides the possibility to acquire the basic knowledge in mechanical process technology, with an emphasis on its experimental methods and unit operations.
After completion the student should be able to:
• Explain theoretical concepts within mechanical process technology,
• Describe and explain common apparatus and/or machines used within mechanical process technology,
• Calculate power and energy relations in comminution and fragmentation; mass, element and particle size distributions; classification results; material balances; grade-recovery relations,
• Do common routine investigations for the mineral processing and recycling industries.
