The particle size is mainly reduced in a fluid-energy mill by
A
By cutting
B
By impact and attrition
C
By impact
D
By pressure
Correct Option:
B
Explanation
A fluid-energy mill, or jet mill, accelerates particles in high-velocity streams of compressed air or gas. Particles collide with one another and with the milling zone, producing size reduction mainly through impact plus attrition. It is especially useful for micronisation because no conventional rotating grinding blades are required.
