Аннотация:Electric pulse destruction of certain types of mineral raw materials has a number of advantages over mechanical methods of destruction, for example, selectivity of destruction without damaging the crystal structures of the destroyed raw materials; lower energy intensity of the processes of destruction of hard rocks: no additional contamination of materials when crushing especially hard and abrasive materials. Comparative analysis of the results of destruction of various types of rocks allows us to conclude about the advantages or disadvantages of electric pulse destruction of certain rocks.
