How are nanoparticles generated? The “Bottom-Up” technique synthesizes particles from molecules or atoms. The “Top-Down” technique involves reducing the size of larger particles to nanoscale, for ...

Grinding materials to a nano-scale is an important aspect of quality control and R&D. AZoM speaks to Dr. Tanja Butt from RETSCH GmbH about the benefits of using High Energy Ball Mills instead of ...

Ball mill load monitoring and vibration analysis lie at the heart of optimising industrial grinding processes, which are pivotal in the mining and mineral processing sectors. These techniques combine ...

Dropped charge, also known as frozen or locked charge, occurs when solidified material inside a horizontal grinding mill does not cascade when the mill starts rotating at start up. Instead, it is ...

A gold-coated milling vessel for ball mills proved to be a real marvel: without any solvents or environmentally harmful chemicals, the team was able to use it to convert alcohols into aldehydes. The ...

ON THE BALL The custom housing for the ball mill was locally designed and manufactured by SKF Earlier this year, bearing and rotating technology specialist SKF South Africa was approached by a key ...
