Around 2% of the electrical energy produced globally is consumed during the grinding process in cement industry (IEA, 2019 ).

Introduction. In mineral processing, comminution accounts for a substantial portion of the energy consumed in the plant, almost 80%. Efforts to increase comminution efficiency come not only from the need for high production rates but also because of higher energy costs associated with the inherent low-efficiency of conventional comminution …
