Abstract
An investigation was made to determine the relationship between new surface formed and energy input in the slow compression crushing of single glass particles at levels of high energy input.
Particle geometry, as represented by various sized hollow and solid cylinders, showed no effect on the energy-area relationship obtained.
Using an average particle size relationship as a measure of surface area, a definite relationship was found to exist between the new surface formed and the energy input for the slow compression crushing of glass.
Surface area measurements were attempted by employing gas adsorption techniques using a continuous flow method. This proved to be unsuccessful because of the small areas being determined.
