Unlocking the potential: The role of ball mills in battery technology
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the general use of ball mills and their application in battery technology. It covers the wide range of ball mill applications throughout the battery manufacturing process, from raw materials to recycling.
The benefits of using ball mills are illustrated by ten specific application examples taken from research and quality control. Specific information on the details of the grinding process is provided to
give an in-depth understanding of ball mill technology.
The following situation is typical for many production plants: After a routine quality check, the production process is stopped or an already produced batch is suspended, because the analysis results were not within the relevant critical values. But does the tested product really deviate from the specifications? It is often not the product itself which causes irregular analysis results but a lack of understanding of the steps which come before the analysis.
Grinding samples with volatile components - Cottbus University, Germany
For the size reduction of many materials it is more suitable to use a cryogenic mill than a laboratory mill which operates at room temperature. The sample is embrittled by liquid nitrogen which improves its breaking behavior when submitted to impact, pressure and friction; moreover, volatile components of the sample are preserved.
