Comminution and Classification A Practitioner's Handbook

My new book, Comminution and Classification: A Practitioner’s Handbook, distills that experience into clear, verified examples and practical design logic for crushing, grinding, and classification circuits.

It’s written for engineers who want results that hold up under scrutiny — not just formulas.

If you work in mineral processing, this handbook was built for you.

Every plant without exception, spends more on grinding than on any other operation. A one or two percentage point improvement in grinding efficiency is worth more than most of the optimisation projects that get funded and championed elsewhere on site, and yet it rarely gets the attention budget those other projects receive, largely because too few people understand it well enough to make the case.

I wrote this book for the engineer who wants to be the exception. Not a comminution specialist by training, necessarily, but someone willing to check the units, and ask an uncomfortable question of a vendor's sizing calculations before signing off on it. If that is you, the chapters ahead were written with you specifically in mind.
