WHAT DOES COMMINUTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Comminution

Comminution is the reduction of solid materials from one average particle size to a smaller average particle size, by crushing, grinding, and other processes. In geology, it occurs naturally during faulting in the upper part of the Earth's crust. In industry, it is an important operation in mineral processing, ceramics, electronics, and other fields. In dentistry, it is the result of mastication of food. In general medicine, it is one of the most traumatic forms of bone fracture. Within industrial uses, the purpose of comminution is to reduce the size and to increase the surface area of solids. It is also used to free useful materials from matrix materials in which they are embedded, and to concentrate minerals.
