Rittinger's law states that the energy required for size reduction is proportional to

  • A.The new surface area created
  • B.The volume reduced
  • C.The logarithm of the size ratio
  • D.The square of the particle size

Answer: A

Correct answer: The new surface area created

Rittinger's law holds that the energy required for size reduction is proportional to the new surface area created:

\[ E = K_R \left( \frac{1}{x_2} - \frac{1}{x_1} \right) \]

Since surface area per unit mass varies inversely with particle size, the energy rises steeply as the product gets finer - which is why fine grinding is disproportionately expensive. The law fits fine grinding best; Kick's law, based on the logarithm of the size ratio, fits coarse crushing, and Bond's law the intermediate range.
