Read Rob’s view on the Top 5 “Recommended Reading on Grinding for Every Metallurgist”
2019 CEEC Medal winner for Operations Rob McIvor recently shared an insightful CIM article and viewpoint – bringing our metallurgists recommended reading to help them tackle comminution efficiency. Here’s what Rob McIvor, also CEEC Advocate and Chief Metallurgist Grinding Systems at Metcom Technologies, had to say in his article for the CIM Bulletin and magazine with his recommended reading list:
“The published world on comminution is as perplexing as it is vast. A recent investigation, “The Truth About Population Balance Modelling”, presented in 2020 by myself and co-authors at CMP and SME, has revealed a history of misinformation that has been obscured by conceptual and mathematical complexity. However, there are a number of wonderful publications that I have found over the length of my career that every metallurgist should read to build a foundation of grinding and classification basics. They are described in this article, graciously passed on for your benefit by the editorial staff of CIM Magazine.” Rob McIvor, This email address is being protected from spambots.
