Wet milling, a core aspect of the wet grinding process, involves breaking down materials in a liquid medium. The wet ball milling process, a popular choice in many sectors, employs a ball mill to achieve a fine grind. This method is particularly effective for materials that are too hard for standard milling. Steps in Wet Ball Milling Process

Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol.-% ore and 25% steel. The ball mill is operated in closed circuit with a particle-size measurement device and size-control cyclones.
