The time of milling depends on the degree of fineness desired overlong milling, however, leads to excessive contamination due to wear. Comminution theory relates particle size and distributions to the work imparted from the mill. The theories require certain constants to be determined. In practice, size and size distribution after milling are obtained by a powder characterization technique.

In providing an overall picture of the Griffith theory applied to the comminution process, it must be pointed out that the theory requires that a tensile stress should exist across a crack to open it further. While a uniform compressive force can close a crack, a nonuniform one can lead to the occurrence of localized tensile stresses. In a comminution process the particles are subjected to nonuniform loading, and therefore it can be surmised that they normally break in tension and not in compression. However, the tensile component of loading in comminution does not form the major loading component and this contributes towards a lowering of the overall energy efficiency of comminution. 

The aim of the paper was to describe the process of grinding of raw materials used in the industrial-scale production of ceramic tiles, by applying the theory of statistical moments. Grinding was performed in industrial ball mills in ceramic tile factories Ceramika Paradyz Ltd. and Opoczno S.A. The ball mills operated in a batch mode. A mixture of feldspars and clay was comminuted. Its composition and fractions depended on the conditions that should be satisfied by raw materials for the production of wall tiles (monoporosis and stoneware) and terracotta. The ground material was subjected to a particle size analysis. Results of the analysis were used in the calculation of relationships applied in the theory of statistical moments. The main parameters, i.e. zero moment of the first order and central moments of the third and fourth order were determined. The values of central moments were used in the calculation of skewness and flatness coefficients. Additionally, changes of mean particle size in time were determined.

There are no published studies describing compactormilling studies. The theory of comminution or size reduction is well written about by Rekhi and Vuppala. They described the criteria for mill selection, mill classification, and variables affecting the sizing process and scale-up. The interested reader is also recommended to peruse Parrot, Johnson, and Lantz. ...
