Most of the mills used in ultra fine grinding are stirred ball mills. The basic grinding mechanisms in stirred mills are dependent on shear, compressional and torsional stresses. The effective motion of the mixture (particles and grinding media) is much related to the flow field in the grinding chamber. It has been known that slurry rheology affects the wet milling of materials. Therefore, the effect of the slurry rheology to the milling becomes of particular importance. The aim of this review is to present main principles and some previous work with respect to the slurry rheology and stability in ultra fine wet grinding with stirred ball milling.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSlurry rheologyStabilityStirred ball millUltra fine wet grindingArticle5412536
