Attrition mill operating characteristics
The attrition mill is a device for mechanically reducing solid particle size by intense agitation of a slurry of material being milled and coarse milling media. For example, in 10 hours of milling, specific surfaces of 40 and 25 m 2 /g were obtained for alumina and barite, corresponding to 38 and 56 nm equivalent spherical diameter, respectively.
