35%, the ball size distribution had the maximum effect on the power draw. When the mill charge contained mono-sized balls, the ball flow regime inside the mill transited to the cataracting and impact breakage was the main breakage mechanism. Increasing the fraction of big balls from 0 to 70% led the flow of balls into the cascading regime and
Ball size distribution is governed by the wear law of the mill and by the wear characteristics through the cross-section of the balls charged to the mill. With this in mind, it is interesting to make a qualitative comparison of the ball size distributions which should be generated by 76 mm pearlitic carbon steel balls versus 76 mm martensitic alloy steel balls in the 2.93 m mills.

Ball mills give a controlled final grind and produce flotation feed of a uniform size. Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol.-% ore and 25% steel.

The effects of various technical parameters, such as ball size and density of ball material, frequency of revolution of the equipment, volume of balls in the mill etc., on both the grinding rate and grinding limit are systemati cally investigated. In addition, the motion of

Small zirconia balls in ball milling were effective to grind the powder to submicronmeter. In order to explain these experimental results on the milling rate, an equation for expressing the milling rate was proposed. The new equation is characterized by two parameters, ball size and particle size of the powder.
This paper covers theoretical and experimental explorations for the sake of determining the optimal ball charge in mills. In the first part of the paper, on the basis of the theoretical analysis of the energy-geometric correlations, which are being established during the grain comminution by ball impact, as well as on the basis of the experiment carried out on grinding quartz and copper ore in
Introduction: ‘Ball milling is a method used to break down the solids to smaller sizes or into a powder. A ball mill is a type of grinder which consists of a cylinder. It is used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. The cylinder rotates around a horizontal axis.
The variation of ball size in a planetary ball mill (PBM) was studied in terms of its effect on the specific impact energy of balls as a result of ball to ball and ball to vial collision calculated through a computer simulation.
For a single size of make-up ball, the mass fractions in the mill within the size ranges are calculated from: (11) m k = d k u 4 − Δ − d k l 4 − Δ d max 4 − Δ − d min 4 − Δ where d k u and d k l represent the upper and lower boundaries of the ball size interval k, d max is the largest ball size in the mill, and d min is the smallest ball size in the mill which is still retained.
The effect of ball size on the particle size reduction has been investigated first for varying rotation speed of the container. Percent passing and size distributions of the milled Al 2 O 3 powder are shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, respectively, as a function of particle size for varying ball size.
The effect of ball size distribution increased with increasing mill filling and for the mill filling of 35%, the ball size distribution had the maximum effect on the power draw. When the mill charge contained mono-sized balls, the ball flow regime inside the mill transited to the cataracting and impact breakage was the main breakage mechanism.
