Effect of Water & Density on Grinding Mill

As you increase the volume of the through put, the time that the ore has to react to the grinding media is lessened. As you add ore to the mill you are also adding WATER and changing density which affects the slurry rheology and workings of the grinding action inside that mill. This water is one- of the main controls that you have over your grind.

Attrition Mills - Powder Metallurgy - Beyond Discovery

Milling in an attrition mill (Fig. 24) is effected by the stirring action of an agitator that has a vertical rotating shaft with horizontal arms. This motion causes a differential movement between the balls and the material being milled, thus providing a substantially higher degree of surface contact than is achieved in tumbler or vibratory mills.. Fig. 24 Attrition ball mill

Slurry density effects on ball milling in a laboratory ...

The effect of slurry density on the dynamics and grinding behavior of a batch ball mill was studied using quartz as a test material. It was found that slurry density determined the distribution of solid charge in the mill, with migration of particles from the tumbling zone to the mill periphery as solid concentration was progressively increased.

Interactions between Slurry Density and Grinding Media Size

"The slurry density (pulp percentage of solids) and the size of the grinding media are often used for the optimization of an operating ball mill. In many cases a change of ball size is made at the slurry density used with the original ball size. But is the optimum slurry density changing with grinding media size?

Also, an attempt was made to increase the compressive strength by varying the ball-milling time (0, 8 and 24 h) and controlling the pore density (25, 45, 60, and 80 PPI). The effect of the particle size on the viscosity of alumina slurry and the overall compressive strength of the reticulated porous alumina were also investigated.

Ball & Rod Mill Density - How Water Impacts Grinding

Ball & Rod Mill Density – How Water Impacts Grinding. Density, if you recall is the ratio of ore to water and is measured as a percent of solids in the water. It will control the grind in two ways. It affects retention time and helps distribute the ore through-the mill so each piece of rock will come in contact with the surface of the rods.
