In this study, the effect of some parameters such as initial particle size, filling volume of the ball and ball size distribution on fine grinding of calcite powders (-200, -150 and -100 ?m) using a laboratory stirred ball mill was studied under wet conditions. Zirconia beads (ZrSiO4) were used as grinding media with 1.0-1.2, 2.0-2.2 and 2.8-3.0 mm. A series of batch experiments using 23 full factorial designs was conducted to determine optimum grinding parameters. The main and interaction effects on specific surface area (m2.g-1) in fine grinding were evaluated using Yates' analysis. The test results showed that the ball filling ratio is the most important effect.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessStatistical analysisStirred ball millWet fine grindingConference Object16916982-s2.0-84890591816N/A
