Journal of Insights in Mining Science and Technology Abstract The power estimation of a disintegration process of clay is given based on the physical phenomena of interaction of thin particles in the clay unit. The method of volumetric processing of the disintegration process is proposed. Now the perspective directions in ore dressing is the acoustic method. An acoustic method of clay processing allows treatment all volumes of materials. The results of experimental researches of various types of clay raw material are given. The power parameters of a disintegration process are estimated. Keywords: Clay; Disintegration; Particle binding structure Highlights a. The acoustic principle of disintegration is due to the proportionality of the particle size, the nature of the connection between particles in clay aggregates and wave low-frequency processing. b. Complete disintegration of clay is possible with the use of three-dimensional processing. c. The energy costs of...
