The stirred ball mill (SBM) is a custom-made prototype (IATE, INRAE, France) that consists of a 2 L-capacity grinding chamber in which a rotor operating at 330 rpm drives the milling media (5.7 kg of 6-mm-diameter steel beads) mixed with the powder to grind. All operating process parameters are summarized in Table 1. For this work, we …
A simulation of the three-dimensional motion of grinding media in the stirred media mill for the research of grinding mechanism has been carried out by 3-dimensional discrete element method (DEM).

Modelling of grinding kinetics Power draw of the stirred ball mill fluctuates over a wide band, as is also the case with ball milling of thick slurries (Fuerstenau et al., 1990). This phenomenon, which is closely related to the rheology of the pulp in some complex manner, makes it quite difficult to describe quantitatively the grinding kinetics ...
Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) may be used for lead removal.However, due to compact structure and high crystallinity of CaCO 3, the utilization of CO 3 2– is low and Pb removal only stays at the extent of physical adsorption and surface precipitation. In this research, a wet stirred ball milling process was introduced to induce nearly …
The results of discrete element method simulation were compared with actual grinding experimental results. The grinding rate constant K can be expressed as K=a exp(bn), where n is the rotation speed. To investigate the correlation between K and the simulation results, a new factor, the calculated force, was defined as F cal =average …

When milling to the same −38 μm mass content, the average particle size of new generated −38 μm product by stirred milling is smaller than that by ball milling with the content of −5 μm size particles more than that by ball milling. The SEM photos show that the surface of the magnetite particles ground by the stirred mill is smoother ...
IV. BALL MILLS Ball mills are one of the more common mills and use a closed cylindrical container that is rotated horizontally on its axis so that the media cascades. A typical ball mill has an L/D ratio of 1.5:1. Ball mills are filled with spheres or other shapes made of steel or ceramics; or with pebbles made of flint (or of an ore being ground).
In a review of Suryanarayana and Al-Aqeeli (2013) it is reported that only 15% of the studies used stirred media mill for mechanical alloying and 80% utilized mainly planetary ball mill or shaker mill and further 5% other mill types. Furthermore, among the 15% stirred media mills most of them are low velocity vertical attritors and not high ...

Xiao et al. [2] investigated the iron grade and recovery of fine grained magnetite ground by a stirred mill and ball mill. They found that the stirred mill was more beneficial for grinding P80 10–30 μm minerals to liberate more valuable minerals and the grade of iron concentrate was 5.2% higher than that of ball mill.
Comparison of Energy Requirements for Conventional and Stirred Ball Milling of Coal-Water Slurries. N. Stehr R. Mehta J. Herbst. Engineering, Environmental Science. 1987.

Compared to other milling processes like ball milling, wet-stirred media milling has shown greater performance with improved grinding and energy-efficiency. And especially with natural materials and drugs, this method is more favourable, as most of these materials are poorly soluble in water [6, 7].
