Abstract:
Materials on a base of cellulose have various forms and applications. They can appear in the form of wood chips, bark from trees, plants, peels of seeds or grains etc. For their utilization, they are usually transformed into the form of fine particles. This structure allows their application as a filler, or they can be treated, for example, by extraction or fermentation to obtain a variety of bio-chemical products. But transformation of biomass into the form of small particles is sometimes not quite easy. The main problem is that biomass contains long fibres that include water or other liquids, for example lignin, that cause a lot of problems with the cutting elements and the sieve of the mill. This paper deals with size reduction of biomass in mills of various design. Biomass has various forms, from bark to grains. During size reduction, each biomass and equipment configuration has their own special behaviour. Experiment were done with various process parameters, such as the speed of milling elements or size of the matrix in the mill. The results were compared by means of particle size distribution. The main attention is focused on the description of problems during milling.
