The optimum moisture content in solids to be crushed/ground ranges from _______________ percent?
Correct answer: A. 3 to 4
- A. 3 to 4
- B. 8 to 10
- C. 10 to 15
- D. 15 to 20
Explanation
A small moisture content, usually about 3 to 4 percent, can improve crushing and grinding by reducing dust and helping control particle fracture. Excess moisture causes clogging and makes handling more difficult.
