3. INTRODUCTION
 Ball milling is a mechanical technique to grind materials into fine powder .
 It uses Top-Down approach for the synthesis of nano materials.
 In the below flow chart when the bulk is converted into the nano materials it is
Top-Down approach.
 Same as the atoms are converted into nano materials then it is known as Bottom-down
approach.
 This process was developed by Benjamin and his co-workers at the international Nickel
Company in the late of 1960s.
Bulk Nano materials Atoms

4. CONSTRUCTION
 Stanium steel cylinder is used
because it is poor Conductor of heat.
 Rotator :- Rotates the cylindrical part
of ball milling process.
 Powder of substance whose nano
material will be formed.
 Different sizes of spherical metal balls
are placed in the cylindrical part of
ball milling process .

5. ADVANTAGES OF BALL
MILLING
High efficiency: Ball milling allows for the
grinding of large quantities of materials at
a faster rate.
Uniform particle size distribution: The
grinding process in a ball mill ensures that
the final product has a consistent particle
size.
Versatility: Ball milling can be used to
grind a wide range of materials, including
minerals, ores, and chemicals.

6. APPLICATIONS IN
MINING INDUSTRY
Grinding of ores: Ball milling is commonly used
in the mining industry to grind ores and extract
valuable minerals.
Liberation of minerals: By grinding ores, ball
milling helps to release valuable minerals from
the ore matrix.
Size reduction: Ball milling is used to reduce the
size of large rocks or particles for further
processing.

7. APPLICATIONS IN
CERAMICS INDUSTRY
Mixing and blending: Ball milling is used
to mix and blend ceramic powders and
additives to create uniform compositions.
Size reduction: Ball milling is utilized to
reduce the particle size of ceramic
powders for improved processing and
performance.
Forming and shaping: Ball milling can be
used to form and shape ceramic
materials into desired forms, such as
tiles or pottery.
