Air-induced segregation of micron-scale particles in a vertical roller mill

Key Points

• Air-induced segregation enhances the separation of micron-scale particles, optimizing milling processes.
• Segregation patterns were quantitatively assessed, showing a significant improvement in mixing efficiency.
• Observational analysis of particle behavior within vertical roller mills provided key insights into material handling dynamics.
• Findings suggest that optimizing air flow can lead to better segregation, enhancing milling efficiency.
