What are the Advantages of Wet Ball Milling?
Wet ball milling has several advantages over dry ball milling. Let's explore some of them: 1. Better Grinding Efficiency. The liquid in wet ball milling acts as a lubricant, reducing friction and improving the grinding efficiency. The particles are more effectively ground and dispersed, resulting in a finer particle size distribution.
