In one aspect, methods of milling carbide are described herein. A method of milling carbide comprises placing a particulate composition comprising carbide in a vessel containing milling media and placing an additive in the vessel, the additive undergoing evaporation or sublimation to provide a non-oxidative atmosphere in the vessel. The carbide particles are comminuted with the milling media in the non-oxidative atmosphere.

A method of fragmenting and/or weakening of material is provided that utilizes high voltage discharges. The material is together with a process liquid introduced into a process area, in which two electrodes face each other at a distance, and is arranged therein in such a manner that the area between the two electrodes is filled with the material and process liquid. Between the two electrodes high voltage discharges are generated for fragmenting or weakening of the material. During the fragmenting or weakening, respectively, of the material, process liquid is discharged from the process area and process liquid is fed into the process area. The process liquid which is fed has a lower electrical conductivity than the process liquid which is discharged.

The present invention relates to methods for producing particles of meloxicam using dry milling processes as well as compositions comprising meloxicam, medicaments produced using meloxicam in particulate form and/or compositions, and to methods of treatment of an animal, including man, using a therapeutically effective amount of meloxicam administered by way of said medicaments.

A device, system and method, according to various embodiments, for processing a granular material to produce a flowable granular composition having a flowable form, without the addition of an additive. The granular material is passed between multiple rotating screws, the particles within the granular material are broken down, and moisture within the granular material is released until it assumes a condition such that the flowable granular composition will not substantially clump or form bridges when the flowable granular composition is in a humid environment, in a subsequent process, during transport or during storage.

According to an implementation of the present subject matter, a method for producing stable nanofluids is described. The method includes mixing of a base fluid with a dispersant and a metal oxide powder to form a primary mixture. The base fluid is a heat transfer fluid and the metal oxide powder includes particles of size greater than 100 nm. The method further includes grinding the primary mixture to obtain a concentrated nanoparticle suspension where the dispersant is added to the primary mixture during the grinding after every pre-determined time period.
