| Summary: | A study has been made of the grinding of quartz in a porcelain laboratory ball mill as a function of pH and concentration of surfactants.
In view of the grinding tests performed and the literature data on the surface properties of quartz, the grindability of quartz must be assumed to be dependent on surface charge; the grindability is a minimum under conditions of zeta-potential equal to zero. Extreme sensitivity of grinding to a concentration of Fe species has been found. |
