The effect of slurry rheology on fine grinding in a laboratory ball mill

The mill was first charged with certain amounts of grinding balls. Next, the 20×30 mesh quartz feed was loaded into the mill and the measured volume of distilled water was poured in to obtain the required solid concentration in the slurry. The mill was then sealed and rotated on a roller table for a set period of time.

Effects of slurry pool volume on milling efficiency

Indeed, if the mill is supplied with more slurry feed than the media interstices can take, the extra material will form a pool of slurry around the toe of the media charge. Tangsathitkulchai [1] hypothesised that for an overfilled mill (see Fig. 1 ), a pool of slurry (1) forms at the base of the ball mill charge.
