Firstly, the conventional ball mill parameters such as mill speed (% of critical speed), material filling ratio (Jb), ball filling ratio (fc), ball size distribution (10-20-30-40 mm, %), grinding aid ratio (% of powder) and grinding time (min.) were optimized using classic experimental design. As a result of the optimization, fine talc product was obtained with d90=93.52 µm particle size. In the second stage, the ball mill product was re-milled using a stirred mill. As a result of study, a final ultra-fine talc powder was obtained after 60 minutes grinding time with d50=1.85 µm particle size and 14058 cm2/g total surface area. It has been seen that the conventional ball mill+stirred mill combination effective a process to obtain talc powder that suitable for industrial use.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaden İşletme ve Cevher HazırlamaMalzeme BilimleriÖzellik ve TestTalcStirred ball millConventional ball millUltra-fine productArticle38368369310.21605/cukurovaumfd.13777251203965
