This is explained by the stress model of the stirred mill, which states that to make up for the low stress energy, there must be more stress number, which enhances the overall grinding effect [7, 8]. Although ceramic ball grinding offers substantial energy-saving benefits, it also has some drawbacks in that its grinding effect is significantly ...
