Abstract
Abstract A process for the comminuting of small particles of organic materials, especially polymeric materials, the process comprising the steps of dispersing a particulate material in a mass of the organic material to be comminuted, comminuting the material, andin the more usual situation- removing the particulate material from the comminuted organic material to leave an uncontaminated particulate product.
