- Similarity of the curves shows that changing moisture-free weight of the standard samples is not a controlling factor in determining the trend of grindability with moisture content.1955, Robert C. Ellman, John W. Belter, Grindability Testing of Lignites, page 24:
- The breakage rate and breakage distribution functions were used to simulate the Bond batch grinds using the approach of Lewis et al [31], however, the simulated grindabilities deviated considerably from the measured results.2006, Ashok Gupta, Denis S. Yan, Mineral Processing Design and Operation: An Introduction, page 86:

- Pelletization is a proven technology for improving biomass properties, whereas torrefaction is considered a plausible alternative for decreasing the moisture content, increasing the energy density and greatly facilitating the handleability and grindability properties of the torrefied material.2011, Luis Puigjaner, Syngas from Waste: Emerging Technologies, page 11:
