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.

The DEM simulation results indicated that DEM is a promising tool for the simulation of the dynamic particles motion and interactions within planetary ball mill. These results could be utilized to further develop the synthesis performance, anticipate the reaction, and reduce the wear in the dry milling reactions.
Discrete element method (DEM) at the macroscale was used to simulate the motion of the balls and powders during milling in a planetary ball mill. It was concluded that the milling speed had the powerful effect on the media motion. An increase of the speed led to a change of the particles distribution.
The planetary ball mill is promising in that it makes grinding to submicron sizes possible by imparting high energy to the ground powder. In this context, there is a need to understand the dynamics of ultrafine grinding within the mill. ...

Correspondingly, the ball mill has to replace the worn lifters. Therefore, determining the impact of mill speed and lifter on the load behavior of iron ore particles in a ball mill not only potentially facilitates the improvement in highperformance liners but also optimizes the mill speed in the predesign stage.
Aiming at addressing the load behavior of iron ore particles in a ball mill, a design of experimental method was used to define a series of discrete element method simulation conditions with two factors being the mill speed and lifter height.
A simulation started with the formation of a packed bed of the balls and powders in a still mill (Fig. 1 a).The mill then rotated at a given speed to lift the ballparticle mixtures (Fig. 1 b).After the flow reached the steady state as shown in Fig. 1 c (by monitoring flow velocity), the flow dynamics information was then collected and analysed. It should be noted the change of particle size ...
