Optimizing crushing processing parameters of oil palm shell charcoal

Ball mill is a machine that used to produce powder size of materials from ceramics, glass and coal. This project is optimizing ball mill processing parameters in order to obtain a maximum output with permitted range size of powder. Activated carbon palm oil charcoal is selected as a material to be g...
