Abstract
In the ceramic industry - ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, color maker, refractory and isolators- raw materials are used in the powder form, usually under 0.074 mm diameter. In the milling process, the efficiency of production depends on a set of characteristics such as mill design, type of milling media and lining for ball mill, and operational conditions. This project deals with the ground…
