Changes in the granulometric composition of suspensions during grinding in a bead mill

Abstract

The size of the beads significantly affects the quality of ultra-fine grinding of suspensions in a bead mill, particularly their granulometric composition. Reducing the bead size from 3 to 1.5 mm decreases the grinding time from 45 to 30 minutes and improves the quality of the process, namely, the granulometric composition, when more than half of the particles are within a narrow size range.
