I want to mill Aluminosilicate refractory powder. I have 7-micrometre aluminosilicate refractory powder and I am going to do wet milling. I want to know how much water to be added to the wet milling of aluminosilicate refractory.
The amount of water depends on the particle size and the properties of the grinded material. If there is not enough water, then a mass similar to plasticine is obtained, which grinds very ineffectively. Basically, the amount of water is determined empirically. It is necessary to pour a small amount of water (for example, 1/2 of the volume of the sample, grind for 5-10-20 minutes and see what happens. If the mixture is too thick, then add water, etc. A liquid phase should be present, approximately corresponding in viscosity bad (liquid) sour cream (Haha, who would know if you use sour cream and what is considered bad for you). Then you can wash the resulting suspension from the mortar and grinding bodies with water into a relatively large clean reservoir (plastic, for example), defend and decant excess water. For measure the particle size by laser scattering, by the way, it is not necessary to completely dry the suspension ...
Vadim S. Gorshkov Thank you for your valuable answer sir. It is very useful for me to carry out the wet milling process.
