Abstract

The results of 300 experimental runs on vibration milling of soapstone, graphite, cXte, magnesite, rock phosphate, granite and zirX sand covering particle size range of (−0.25+0.10) to (−1.00+ 0.80) mm, density range of 2.29−4.59 g/cm³, hardness range of 1–7 Mho's hardness number and surface energy range of 4.50–38.66 kg_f m/m², are presented.

The results obtained were used to determine (1) the effect of grinding characteristics (feed weight, feed particle size, ball charge, density of ball material, weight ratio and mill filling ratio), (2) the effect of material characteristics, (3) the comparative performance of vibration mill and ball mill, and to compare the specific surface areas produced by grindability apparatus, vibration mill and ball mill.

Correlations for grinding energy consumption and rate of grinding are presented.

Effect of mill diameter on the rate of initial grinding in vibration ball mills
1990, Powder Technology
Vibration ball milling was carried out using three kinds of mills with the same internal volume but different diameters. The variations of specific surface area produced with time were investigated at a constant vibration intensity using feldspar with an initial size range of 74 – 149 μm. As a result, it was found that the specific surface area of product was markedly influenced by the difference in mill diameter even at the same vibrating conditions. According to an empirical equation proposed in a previous paper, the rate of initial grinding was also found to vary by a factor of 1.4 to 2.0, depending upon the mill used. The dependence of the rate of grinding on mill diameter can be explained by considering an effective area of mill shell capable of colliding with balls and a motion of balls in each mill. An available suggestion for designing a mill pot was obtained from this work.
