Application Reports

Preparation of Soil, Sewage Sludge and Sediment Samples in a Wastewater Treatment Laboratory
The preparation of a mixture of organic and inorganic samples holds some difficulties: whereas sand, clay and stones can usually be ground to homogeneous samples with suitable laboratory mills, the high energy input can cause samples with organic components such as fat or starch to cake. Carsten Bunn, a laboratory technician at the waste water treatment laboratory BRW, has to deal with this problem every day. He treats samples which are taken from the sand traps of the wastewater treatment plants and consist of exactly that mixture. The sediments of household and industry waste water not only contain sand, clay or leaves but anything that people nowadays dispose of through the sewer system: cellulose, hair and especially food residues.
Green Chemistry in the Lab
Mechanochemistry is a very effective method to carry out syntheses without solvents and by-products. The technical literature describes a great number of reactions where a conversion of 100% is achieved. A precondition for the establishment of mechanochemistry in the industrial sector is the availability of suitable laboratory mills. A decisive factor is that – similar to conventional preparative chemistry – ambient parameters such as pressure and temperature can be documented and monitored. The Planetary Ball Mills and Mixer Mills from Retsch fulfill these requirements.
Size reduction within the context of sample preparation
In general “size reduction” is taken to mean the disintegration of solid substances by mechanical forces without altering their state.
Consistent Milling on a Nano Scale
Planetary ball mills are helping scientists and engineers advance nanotechnology by providing a consistent way to produce nanoscale powders.
Sample Preparation of Solid Materials for the XRF-analysis
X-Ray fluorescence is one of the most versatile methods to determine elements in a sample. The material is exposed to x-rays that cause each element to emit its own unique fluorescent x-ray. The subsequent analysis of the results is based on comparisons to standard samples with given chemical composition.
Die neue Power Generation
Planeten-Kugelmühlen haben seit jeher einen festen Platz in der täglichen Laborpraxis zur Feinzerkleinerung unterschiedlichster Materialien. Neben dem Mischen und Zerkleinern hat sich in den letzten Jahren auch im mechanischen Legieren z.B. thermoelektrischer oder hochkoerzitiver Materialien ein weiteres Anwendungsgebiet ergeben.
Herstellung von Nanopartikel mit der Planeten-Kugelmühle
Die Herstellung von Nanopartikeln, deren Größe im Bereich von 1 Mikron und kleiner liegt, ist in vielen technischen Bereichen immer mehr auf dem Vormarsch, denn sie ermöglichen die gezielte Veränderung von Materialeigenschaften.
Zusammenspiel der Kräfte
Planeten-Kugelmühlen ermöglichen mechanisches Legieren dank ihrer hohen Zerkleinerungsenergie

Mechanisch legierte Werkstoffe haben schon längst ihren Einzug in die moderne Werkstofftechnik gehalten. Viele neue Werkstoffe und Werkstoffkomposite wurden in den letzten Jahren durch intensive Forschung entwickelt und werden bereits industriell hergestellt. Mechanisches Legieren ist ein gängiges Verfahren, um Werkstoffpaarungen oder Komposite zu synthetisieren, die auf konventionellem Wege nicht realisierbar wären, wie z. B. das Verbinden von Natur aus unmischbarer Legierungspartner. Das Werkzeug der Wahl dafür sind Planeten-Kugelmühlen.
