Foamglass from Recycled Glass Bottles
Dr. Ajien Steiner, Schaumglass Global Consulting GmbH SGC
The use of foamglass for insulation and sound protection purposes is a relative new topic and it comes more and
more in the focus of the construction industry. This paper covers, besides the processing and applications of
foamglass itself, the important processing step of energy efficient micronisation of recycled glass bottles into
glasspowder, which is the major raw material of foamglass.
Ultrafine dry grinding with agitated media mills
Daniel Droop, Hosokawa Alpine AG, Technical Division
Agitated media mills are particularly suitable for ultrafine milling down into the submicron range, because the huge
number of small beads results in a high frequency of stress occurrence for an economic operation. Caused by the
specific media motion and stress mechanism, the newly developed agitated media classifier mill "Pulvis" offers a
very energy-saving milling process compared to other media mills and jet mills.
Energy efficient processing of GCC slurry & powder for paper, plastic and paint
Dietmar Alber, Hosokawa Alpine AG, Divisional Manager of Minerals & Metals division
This paper is discussing the energy efficient wet grinding of ultrafine GCC slurries at a fineness of
50 to 98 % < 2 µm on ALPINE ANR-CL wet grinders, as well as a down stream process, where GCC slurry can by
dried, de-agglomerated and coated by stearic acid with the Alpine Long-Gap-Mill LGM.
Low pressure jet milling by Alpine Fluidized Bed Opposed Jet Mill AFG
Dr. Karlheinz Schmidt, Hoffmann Mineral GmbH
Jet milling is a relative energy intensive method of micronisation, but still is entitled to be used for many
applications. For the micronisation of calcined Neuburg Siliceous Earth, Hoffmann Minerals has evaluated high
pressure versus low pressure jet milling and is successfully using an Alpine Fluidized Bed Opposed Jet Mill AFG
running by low pressure hot air.
Producing top quality of coated GCC – new process with ALPINE Contraplex
Charles Vergé, Filler & Mineral Process Consulting (FMPC)
Standard coating processes of GCC, whatever the method is, often are no more sufficient in order to reach
necessary qualities, especially for use in plastic film. This paper introduces, based on the well proven Contraplex
coating process, an upgraded process, where a top quality of coated GCC at significantly increased capacity is
guaranteed.
Toll Processing – the alternative to investment in own production technology
Dr.-Ing. Christoph Wadenpohl, Hosokawa Micron Powders GmbH
The outsourcing of business support functions such as information technology and human resources is common in
industry. However, there are cases when it makes sense to outsource even core activities. Outsourcing of powder
production can be an attractive alternative to inhouse production, provided that you chose a company that
understands powder to be your production partner. Risks, benefits of outsourcing and some typical examples will
be presented.

Energy efficient, resource preservating processes and renewable materials – a nucleus for innovations in
process engineering
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Rommel, Head of Master Course Environmental and Process Technology of Augsburg
University of Applied Sciences, Managing Director of bifa Environmental Institute, Augsburg
The world-wide demographic development combined with increasing standards of life caused an exponentially
increase of natural resource consumption. The ecological limits of quantitative growth have been reached! In
general, that means that the resource intensity and efficiency have to be dramatically increased. This is due for
almost all production processes. Mechanical and comminution processes play a very important role in feed stock
and raw material exploitation, material production and processing as well as in recycling processes. On one hand,
these processes are rather energy consuming and on the other hand they are part of the material supply chain and
thus determine the material efficiency significantly. Hence, major task in process engineering is to increase the
degree of efficiency of comminution and material handling operations. Certainly, this is a big challenge, but it also
offers a lot of options and thus will be the nucleus for innovations in process engineering.
This lecture will give some selected samples:
� preparation and processing of biomass for bio-degradable plastics, solid and liquid bio fuel
� separation of material composites
� crushing of carbon-fiber-composite parts as a pre-step for pyrolysis recycling
Fine particle processing and Energy saving – a contradiction?
Dr. Jürgen Stein, Hosokawa Alpine AG, Technical Division
Actual discussions about energy saving in all areas of life and industry marks fine particle processes due to the low
efficiency as archaic. To increase the efficiency a new approach is necessary. In principle three areas can be
defined to optimize a fine particle processing system: machine technology, process control and product properties.
A significant energy reduction can be reached by intelligent linking of all these aspects and parameters.
Fine particle processing and Energy saving by intelligent process control
Gerhard Kiederle, Hosokawa Alpine AG, Technical Division
A key to increase the energy efficiency of a fine particle process is an intelligent process control. For intelligent
process controls a lot of theoretical approaches are on the market. Most tend to be complicated. Hosokawa Alpine
developed a practical solution, which allows an intelligent control of a fine particle process with a manageable
effort.
Fine particle processing and Energy saving by inline particle size measurement
Hans Kaiser, Hosokawa Alpine AG, Technical Division
Intelligent measurement systems help to increase the understanding of powder production processes. One of
these systems is an inline particle measurement. How this knowledge can be used to optimize a powder process is
shown on different case studies.
Efficiency in flue gas cleaning with NaHCO3 by activation by grinding
Dr. Bernd Morun, DrySoTec GmbH
Long term experience with: -dependency of activity from the grade of grinding; - particle uniformity after grinding;
-maintenance and problems gained in practice.

- fine grinding process with rubber and thermoplastic materials,
- the separation of composite materials as garden hoses (fibre reinforced soft PVC) and
- examples of food and spice grinding processes.
The use of Zetapotential measurement for the charactisation of dispersion stability
Dr. Mark Wingfield, Malvern Instruments GmbH
Electrostatic stabilisation of particles is commonly used in the formulation of dispersions and wet milling techniques.
The measurement of Zetapotential to characterise electrostatic interactions of particles will be described and the
characterisation of dispersion stability will be discussed.
Production of Reproductive Energy by means of Compaction
Robert Rosen, Hosokawa Bepex GmbH
Wood chips are used to generate energy at smaller power stations. Due to high demand, lack of sources and price
increase is already noticed. By means of a new developed process harvested maize from corn is crushed, dried and
compacted. So called slaps have a higher density and a 40 % higher calorific value compared with wood chips.
Technologies for Particle Shape Design
Dr. Jürgen Stein, Hosokawa Alpine AG, Technical Division
Beside fineness and particle size distribution, the particle shape becomes increasingly important for many
applications. If milling or synthesis do not create a functional particle shape or morphology, it is necessary to apply
further processing steps. Particle shape can be modified by either mechanical or thermal treatment or a combination
of it. The presentation will show different technologies for the production of particles with tailored shape and some
examples of application.
Graphite Powder Processing - A Key Element for High Performance Li-Ion Batteries
Dr.-Ing. Oswin Öttinger, U. Bosch, B. Ketterer, SGL CARBON GmbH
Today, lithium-ion technology finds its largest growth potential in the upcoming electromobility market. Within the
battery of an electric car, several kilograms of graphite powder are used as an active intercalation material to store
lithium. The performance of the battery (e.g., efficiency, cycling stability, lifetime, and safety) depends to a large
extent on the quality and the characteristics of the graphite material. Therefore, graphite powder processing is
regarded as one key element in the production chain for high-grade Li-ion cells.
Process Technology for High Performance Battery materials
Dr. Yoshiyuki Inoue, Hosokawa Micron Corp. (Japan)
Powder processing is important technology for manufacturing the high performance battery materials (for anode and
cathode). Two major technologies are introduced in this presentation:
1. Fine milling without metal contamination with high throughput
2. Economic surface enhancement for improvement the electric conductivity, cyclic performance, heat stability,
capacity, etc,

Energy saving new developed ALPINE ultrafine classifier TurboTwinDouble TTD. Revamping of existing
ball mill classifier loops by TTD.
Dietmar Alber, Hosokawa Alpine AG, Divisional Manager of Minerals & Metals division
Energy saving is not only a topic in the Western World, but also becomes a topic in countries, where energy
traditionally was considered as relative cheap. ALPINE has developed a new ultrafine classifier, with the target of
saving energy and reaching high finenesses & high capacity on a classifier based on the patented single wheel
solid body rotation principal. This new classifier is ideal for replacing older classifiers consuming high energy and at
same time optimizing the capacity, especially for closed ball mill classifier loops.
Processing and applications of ultrafine mineral based cement additives
Dr. Christian Artelt, Heidelberger Zement
Ultrafine mineral based cement additives are used to achieve special properties in the use of cement. Differently to
the standard cement products these additives are much finer, as the basis of their function is a much higher
surface area. These fine additives are produced by the use of heavy wear protected ultrafine air classifiers as the
ALPINE Turboplex Multiwheel Air Classifiers ATP.
Using premixes of additions simplifies and reduce cost in production
Frank Maringer, Matcon Ltd., Business Development Manager
With the use of IBCs offline, premix preparation can be made safely and as a centralised activity. This helps
making the entire production site safe, contamination free and efficient.
