Ultrafine grinding of muscovite in close packed media mill

• This paper presents the results of batch vibration milling of mica. Grinding time or energy input, and solid and dispersant concentrations were the variables. Product fineness is greatly influenced by energy input, solid concentration, and mill settings. Muscovite can be ground efficiently to a high degree of fineness at a relatively high energy expenditure. Particle shape is preserved or improved presumably due to the predominance of exfoliation as opposed to true fracture as the mode of particle breakage.
