Particle sizes for the recorded sample and sampling time.
Sample assessment
Granular slag rock was processed as an exploratory powder sample. Its composition is unspecified, so elemental and phase claims are outside the size record. The laboratory test record documents this preparation only; applying the method to another batch requires a matched trial.
Recorded objective
Explore achievable fineness; no fixed numerical threshold is stated.
Equipment and selection
The recorded planetary machine is XQM. The corresponding TENCAN family is the Vertical Planetary Ball Mill. The jar volume identifies the test container and does not establish an exact machine variant or production capacity. Equipment association follows the recorded machine designation.
Test setup
| Recorded planetary machine | XQM |
|---|---|
| Documented setup | 1 L stainless-steel jar with standard steel balls; 378 g granular slag rock; dry milling; speed setting 500. |
| Recorded operating cycle | Run 5 / pause 1; units not stated in mode field |
Speed values are reproduced as recorded settings. A rotational unit and planetary-disc versus jar-speed basis are not stated, so these numbers are not labelled rpm.
Recorded procedure and results
After 1 hour 15 minutes of planetary milling, the sample measured D50 = 4.25 µm and D90 = 11.04 µm. The source supplies no initial particle-size distribution, chemical composition or additional timepoints.
Measured after 1 hour 15 minutes for the 378 g slag-rock charge.
Interpretation
The trial establishes a measured fine-powder distribution under the stated conditions. It does not establish a maximum particle size, specific mineral composition or a reduction factor. Slag composition must remain unspecified because it is not identified in the record.
Practical precautions
Assess steel wear against the intended chemical analysis. Use a representative sample split, inspect the recovered material for coarse fragments and obtain composition and phase information before applying this procedure to another slag source.
TENCAN alternatives to evaluate
For follow-up comparison, consider the TENCAN Omnidirectional Planetary Ball Mill. For slag rock, a matched QXQM trial can test whether changing orientation affects the slag-rock coarse tail and metal contamination separately. Keep sample mass, media and sampling times controlled. This is a proposed comparison; the test record does not demonstrate a superior result for that alternative. Confirm jar compatibility and the permitted complete loaded mass before selecting a configuration.
Procedure records XQM; related product is the corresponding tested machine family. Exact variant is not inferred from jar size.
