Operating Data for Large Grinding Mills
The operational experience with large capacity grinding systems for both cement raw material grinding and cement clinker grinding is discussed. The results show that large capacity units are not at a disadvantage when compared to smaller units.
Large Mills for Dry Raw Material and Clinker Grinding
The development of grinding mills, especially in the last few years, shows a continuing trend to larger units. Particular attention must be given to the drying process during dry grinding. Several grinding methods are available, depending upon the material to be ground, and the optimum method must be carefully selected in each case. Special consideration must be made with large ball mills to assure the utilization of all waste heat from the kiln for the drying process. In many cases a roller mill represents a good alternative.
“Family” Support for Family Violence: Exploring Community Support Systems for Lesbian and Bisexual Women Who Have Experienced Abuse
ABSTRACT “Family” is a euphemistic term that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people use among ourselves to designate membership in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities. Ironically, this “family” may be the most sought, yet least successful, support for dealing with the intimate partner violence that occurs within LGBT families. This study of 11 lesbian and bisexual women's experiences seeking support revealed several tiers of unmet needs within the LGBT community. They rarely used services in the general community, although these services are often the focus of both criticism and efforts to build support systems for LGBT victim/survivors. A model presents the different stages and potential sources of support.
