Ball milling is a mechanical technique that is broadly used to grind powders into fine particles [134–141]. The reactants are generally broken apart using solvent molecules in the traditional method; but in ball milling, reactants are broken by using mechanical forces. The term mechanochemistry has been introduced very recently [142].

8.3.2.2 Ball mills. The ball mill is a tumbling mill that uses steel balls as the grinding media. The length of the cylindrical shell is usually 1–1.5 times the shell diameter (Figure 8.11 ). The feed can be dry, with less than 3% moisture to minimize ball coating, or slurry containing 20–40% water by weight.

Effect of Balls Hardness on Rate of Grinding Tests by Coghill and Devaney show that the hardness of the balls has some effect upon the rate of grinding in mill. These results are plotted in Fig. 6.8a and it is seen that, both for dolomite and chert, there is an increase in the rate of grinding with increasing hardness of ball.

In total, 165 scenarios were simulated. When the mills charge comprising 60% of small balls and 40% of big balls, mill speed has the greatest influence on power consumption. When the mill charge is more homogeneous size, the effect of ball segregation is less and so the power consumption of the mill will be less affected.

A Ball Mill Critical Speed (actually ball, rod, AG or SAG) is the speed at which the centrifugal forces equal gravitational forces at the mill shell's inside surface and no balls will fall from its position onto the shell.
