A rigorous breakage matrix methodology for characterization of multi-particle interactions in dense-phase particle breakage

► Particle breakage in a dense phase particulate system is a complex phenomenon. ► Breakage probability of particles is affected by multi-particle interactions. ► Broadbent and Calcott's breakage matrix methodology was substantially modified. ► A rigorous methodology was proposed to characterize and quantify the interactions. ► Breakage data from uniaxial compression of coarse-fines binary mixture were fitted.
