High shear granulation of dolomite - I: Effect of shear regime on process kinetics

► High shear granulation of dolomite has been successfully modelled by using 1-D PBE. ► The GSD predictions have been efficiently provided at various shear regimes. ► Coalescence mechanism has been found as a dominant one in dolomite granulation process. ► Dolomite coalescence rate does not depend on shear regime within early stage of the granulation process. ► It significantly changes with shear regime within later stages of the process and with stages itself.
