Investigating grinding media dynamics inside a vertical stirred mill ...
ConwayBaker et al. [18] studied the effect of the impeller design on the media motion inside a vertical stirred mill by using Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT).Three impellers were tested: a flat blade, a pin type and down pitched impeller. This work highlighted how the impeller strongly influences the upper and lower recirculation loops inside the mill, and consequently, the packing ...
