.~ By utilizing kinetic energy of projected or suspended material
DEFINITION
Classification: 241/5
(under the class definition) Processes which include the step of suspending particles of the material in a moving fluid or otherwise projecting them through space and utilizing the developed kinetic energy of the particles to effect the comminution or disintegration thereof (as by impinging them against an impact surface or against other particles).
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
26, for processes of comminuting material by contacting it with other portions of the material but without the use of kinetic energy.
27, and 185.5-197, for processes and apparatus for comminuting by subjecting the material to a blow by a moving surface, but which do not utilize the kinetic energy of the material to aid in the comminution.
39+, for related apparatus including means to suspend particles in a moving fluid and then utilizing the kinetic energy to effect the comminution.
91, and 274, for related apparatus including means to gravity project material against a surface or other material to effect the comminution. 275, for related apparatus for centrifugally projecting material against surfaces or other material to effect the comminution.
