E ects of Ball Size on the Grinding Behavior of Talc Using ...
Keywords: nanoscale talc; wet milling; highenergy ball milling; ball size; aggregation 1. Introduction Talc (Mg3Si4O10(OH)2) is a phyllosilicate mineral with a TOT layer composed of tetredral silicon and octedral magnesium, which share oxygen and are strongly bonded with each other. The weak van der Waals bonds between the TOT layers is the origin of softness of talc. The silicon in ...
