A Review of the Milestones Reached by the Attainable Region Optimisation Technique in Particle Size Reduction

The attainable region (AR) is an optimization method adopted for use in comminution to achieve different objective functions, which all converge to optimising the production of the desired particle size distributions for downstream processes. The technique has so far mostly been used to optimise the...
