Ball milling is a way to exfoliate graphite using lateral force, as opposed to the Scotch Tape or sonication that mainly use normal force. Ball mills, like the three roll machine, are a common occurrence in industry, for the production of fine particles. During the ball milling process, there are two factors that contribute to the exfoliation.

further reduced in size. Water is added to the ball mill, in which a slurry that usually contains from about 20 to 55 percent solids is produced (Singh, 2010; International Mining, 2011) (see fig. 2). The mill operates in a closed circuit with screens that size the ore and cyclones that sort the ore by size and density.

The mill discharge from these mills consists of slurry, which goes to the ball mills for further grinding, and coarse pebbles/rocks, which are crushed and sent back to the mill. To maximize the capacity of these circuits, the general practice is to use grates with pebble ports (reaching 100 mm) instead of normal grate openings to increase the ...
