Original Abstract

This article deals with the development of an alternative method for determining the grindability index of fine-grained materials. This method is inspired by the commercially used VTI method (also known as RTI after the Russian Thermal Energy Institute), which was widely used in Central and Eastern Europe in coal grinding. The disadvantage of the VTI method is that it uses a specific grinding device that otherwise has no other use and nowadays is no longer commonly available. Through the new method, high-energy grinding was performed using a commercially available planetary mill on silicate materials such as limestone, feldspar, corundum, and quartz. The effectiveness of the method was verified on clinker as a representative of widely used materials. The deviation between the grindability index calculated by the origin VTI method and the new developed method was on average approximately 8%; in the case of clinker grinding, it was only 3%. The results showed that the VTI method could be replaced by a new method that uses a modern available planetary mill and laser granulometry to determine the grindability index. The result is a new classification of materials according to their grindability indexes, which is based on the original VTI method.
