Fig. 1.4 Schematic representation of a ball mill showing also the inside
(yellow powder is to-be-ground material and white spheres represent
the milling balls) (en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_mill)
In order to be applied in industry, the mill has of
course to operate under the continuous conditions.
Usually, the material to be ground is fed from the left
through a 60° cone and the product is discharged
through a 30° cone to the right. As the shell rotates, the
balls are lifted up on the rising side of the shell and
then they cascade down (or drop down on to the feed)
from near the top of the shell. Most probably the first
efficient ball mill has been built after the industrial
revolution and the invention of steam
power for grinding flint for pottery in 1870 (Lynch and
Rowland 2005).
On the contrary to the conventional ball milling, the
high-energy one (often abbreviated as HEM or HEBM)
has been invented in 1966 by Benjamin irrelevantly of
the development of mechanochemistry (Benjamin
1970). This invention enabled the preparation of
nanoscale materials, mechanical alloying and
performance of mechanochemical reactions using this
technique (Suryanarayana 2001).
In Table 1.1, the main differences between the
conventional ball milling and the high-energy one are
listed. The most important thing is the energy input,
which is around 1000 times higher in HEBM. Due to
high rotation speed of the milling chamber in HEBM,
also the milling mode is changed from rolling to impact
and much more energy-demanding processes can be
achieved (in addition to conventional ball milling,
where just fracturing and particle size reduction is
usually observed, also plastic deformation and welding
can take place during HEBM). Very often, the
submicron particles can be prepared by HEBM,
whereas the dimensions of the treated powder in the
conventional ball milling stay just in the
micrometre range. Further development of HEBM
process (see next chapter) brought about the
possibility of milling in a given atmosphere or under
vacuum, or milling at the temperature of liquid
nitrogen.
