Raw milling Question 17
Do you think that pre-dedusting in a raw mill circuit by means of cyclone with a separation efficiency of 91-93 will have negative influence on the raw mill bag filter or ESP in regard to the fact that after pre-dedusting only rather fine grain and rather low quantity of dust will enter the filter? Could it become difficult to clean the bags due to fine dust getting deeper into the pores of the filterbag and could the fine dust have negative influence on the ESP?

Re: Raw milling
I cannot foresee that reduces the load of dust entering a filter will have any detrimental effect on its performance. Certainly no problem with an ESP. Your point regarding fine dust blinding the cloth of fabric filters may be valid, but I would be surprised.

Raw milling Question 18
We will appreciate your support clarifying the following points:
1-False air effect upon the (increase/decrease) of dust load in a closed system of air swept type ball mill (between the mill outlet duct-seperator-cyclones-filter-stack).
2 - Also, will the dust resistivity increase/decrease?

Re: Raw milling
In an air-swept mill false air is usually introduced at the bottom of the ascension pipe in order to ensure there is sufficient volume, density and velocity of air to lift the ground material up the ascension pipe and through the separator. The amount of dust being carried up the ascension pipe is the same, however the volume of air is greater therefore the overall effect is a dilution of the dust load. In principle the false air will cause a reduction of the temperature and this will reduce the resistivity of the dust improving the electrostatic precipitation.
