Ball mill is typically used to grind and/or blend materials and it can be done wet or dry. It can be used to mix ceramic powders, disperse particles in solvents, homogenize ceramic slurries, etc. Ball mills operate by rotating plastic jars around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium.

8.3.2.2 Ball mills. The ball mill is a tumbling mill that uses steel balls as the grinding media. The length of the cylindrical shell is usually 1–1.5 times the shell diameter (Figure 8.11 ). The feed can be dry, with less than 3% moisture to minimize ball coating, or slurry containing 20–40% water by weight.

5.3.2.4 High-Energy Ball Milling. High-energy ball milling is a ball milling process in which a powder mixture placed in a ball mill is subjected to high-energy collisions from the balls.

It is the action of milling that effects the particle size and hence the melt, the fluidity of the melt, etc etc. So ball milling renders a solution more homogeneous by the milling action of the grinding media, the amount of charge in the mill, the speed of rotation in the mill, and the time the solution is in the mill being processed.
