Important advances have been made in the last 60 years or so in the modeling of ball mills using mathematical formulas and models. One approach that has gained popularity is the population balance model, in particular, when coupled to the specific breakage rate function.

Ball mill is an energy-intensive device for grinding and breaking iron ore particles, which is extensively used in mineral, cement, chemical, and other industries. 1 –4 In the field of mineral processing, a portion of the energy is converted into heat that will raise the milling temperature and breakage characteristics of iron ore will be changed accordingly.

Austin, Klimpel, and Luckie (1984, 93–94), stated the effect of ball diameter on rate of breakage as "considering a representative unit volume of mill, the rate of ball-on-ball contacts per unit time will increase as ball diameter decreases because the number of balls in the mill increases as (1/d^{3}). Thus the rates of breakage of ...
