Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Abstract

The kinetics of dry and wet grinding of a sintered bauxite treated using a ball mill is studied. By the dry grinding technique, a dispersity characterized by a median particle diameter of about 17 μm and average surface particle diameter of about 5 μm can be reached. By the wet grinding technique, a higher degree of dispersion of the material is reached (of median diameter less than 3 μm), with a certain amount of nanoparticles produced.
