It is well known that ball mill efficiency is affected by the size of the grinding media and that there is an optimum ball size that is strongly related to particle size. Bond [5] developed an empirical relationship based on maximum breakage rate in which the ideal ball size is proportional to the square root of the product size.

PROCEDURE. Kept 100 gm of rice and charge it to series of sieves to get pregrinding size distribution. Continuous sieving for 10 minutes. Weigh the mass of rice retained on each sieve. Load the rice into ball mill along with metal balls. Run the ball mill for 30 minutes at a speed of 1 rpm. After 30 minutes take out rice powder from the ball mill.

The analysis of the influence of ball sizes in SAG grinding hasn''t been developed in detail by considering the effect on process parameters inside the mill, grinding efficiency or internal classification. Historically a conventional grinding reference has been made on the empirical procedure developed by Azzaroni (1980).

The first problem will ball mills is that we cannot see what is occurring in the mill. The other problem is that many of the independent variables are non-linear or have paradoxical effects on the end results. In ball milling of dry solids the main independent variables are mill diameter, mill speed, media size, solids loading and residence time.

The starting point for ball mill media and solids charging generally starts as follows: 50% media charge. Assuming 26% void space between spherical balls (non-spherical, irregularly shaped and mixed-size media will increase or decrease the free space) 50% x 26% = 13% free space. Add to this another 10%-15% above the ball charge for total of 23%

The specific rates of breakage of particles in a tumbling ball mill are described by the equation S i = ax α i (Q(z), where Q(z) is the probability function which ranges from 1 to 0 as particle size increases.This equation produces a maximum in S, and the particle size of the maximum is related to ball diameter by x m = k 1 d 2.The variation of a with ball diameter was found to be of the form

The effects of percent solids, mill loading, and grinding time on product size distribution and ball wear were studied in a laboratory ball mill for a taconite ore. Mild steel balls and HCLA steel balls were used to examine the role that ball hardness play in grinding. Net production of −44-µm (−325-mesh) material reached maximum at 70% solids, whereas the ball wear decreased as pulp

and with the decreased grain size, the necessary ball size also decreases (Olejnik, 2010; 2011). For each grain size there is an optimal ball size (Trumic et. al., 2007). The bigger ball in relation to the optimal one will have an excess energy, and consequently, the smaller ball mill has less energy necessary for grinding. In both

Alumina powder was wet-milled by zirconia balls with varying diameter at varying rotation speed, and the resultant particle size of the milled powder was analyzed. At a given rotation speed, there exists an optimum ball size to yield minimum particle size of alumina. The optimum ball diameter decreases as the rotation speed increases. This result has been interpreted in light of the
