Monosize quartz sand suspensions (53, 45 and 38μm) were prepared in water at 60% solids weight and were ground for a fixed period of 10min, in a lab ball mill (16Φ×18cm), with steel balls of 4, 3, and 2cm in diameter. Resulting size distributions were fitted to the Swrebec function. This function wa...
