Ultrafine Water-Slag Powder Production: Grinding Process and Equipment Selection Guide

We provide a wide range of mills — including Raymond mill, trapezoidal mill, vertical mill, ultrafine mill, and ball mill, obtained ISO9001 international quality certification, EU CE certification, and Customs Union CU-TR certification. Suitable for processing minerals such as limestone, phosphate, quicklime, kaolin, talc, barite, bentonite, calcium carbonate, dolomite, coal, gypsum, clay, carbon black, slag, cement raw materials, cement clinker, and more.

The discharge range of these mills can be adjusted to meet specific processing needs, typically from 80-400 mesh, 600-3250 mesh, and can achieve the finest particle size of up to 6000 mesh(D50).

Introduction to Ultrafine Water-Slag Powder Production

Ultrafine water-slag powder is a critical material in modern construction and industrial applications, known for its high reactivity and environmental benefits. Producing this material requires advanced grinding technology to achieve the desired fineness and quality. This article explores the grinding process and highlights key equipment selection criteria, with a focus on LIMING’s cutting-edge solutions.

The Grinding Process

Grinding water slag into ultrafine powder involves several stages:

  • Crushing: Raw slag is reduced to a manageable size (typically 0-20mm)
  • Drying: Moisture content is reduced to optimize grinding efficiency
  • Grinding: The core process where particles are reduced to micron sizes
  • Classification: Separation of particles by size to ensure product uniformity

Equipment Selection Criteria

Choosing the right grinding mill is crucial for efficient water-slag powder production. Key factors to consider include:

1. Production Capacity Requirements

Match the mill’s throughput (tph) with your production targets. For water-slag applications, we recommend considering our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill, which offers a capacity range of 0.5-25 tph with input sizes up to 20mm.

2. Energy Efficiency

Modern mills should reduce power consumption while maintaining output. The MW series achieves this through innovative design:

  • 40% higher capacity than jet mills at same power input
  • Energy consumption only 30% of conventional systems
  • Advanced powder separation technology
