Particle Size Reduction

As is the case with many raw materials, lithium carbonate micronizing can be made more efficient by densifying the finely sized powders into granules. The industry-leading K.R. Komarek Roll Compactor, which takes the finely sized powders and compresses them into a solid shape for more efficient processing, has become the industry standard for lithium carbonate […]

In the business of particle size reduction you may hear the word, ‘micron’ thrown around. So, what exactly is a micron, and how small is it? In the material reduction industry, micron size is a ‘big’ deal. Let’s take a step back and first define the word itself; ‘micron’ is a shortened word for ‘micrometer’,
