the charge depict cataracting motion, which leads to impact comminution that produces coarser products. Cataracting balls hit the mill shell, causing ball-to-wall collision. Finally, the surging motion is when balls collide in midair, which results in ball-to-ball collision (Mishra and Rajamani, 1992). Surging

Ball Charge and Grinding Efficiency

In ball mills all the media is balls with a high SG so the impact of pooling is not as large. Additionally, in ball mills grinding is primarily through cascading not cataracting (compared to an AG.SAG) so the slurry pool is not a factor unless density is high, which leads to viscosity issues.

Slurry Volume Hold-Up of Overflow Ball Mills
