Abstract The discrete element method (DEM) is a proven numerical technique for modelling the multibody collision behavior of particulate systems. This method is used here to study the motion of ball charge in tumbling mills. To get meaningful results, it is essential that the parameters involved in the model be carefully determined.
1. Fill the container with small metal balls. Most people prefer to use steel balls, but lead balls and even marbles can be used for your grinding. Use balls with a diameter between ½" (13 mm) and ¾" (19 mm) inside the mill. The number of balls is going to be dependent on the exact size of your drum.
On the other hand, Burgio et al. [4] have derived a set of kinematic equations to compute the velocity and acceleration of a ball in a planetary mill, and thereby, estimate the energy transferred to the powder particles. The ball distribution inside the vial is considered to be independent of the kinematics of the ball motion.
The specific rates of breakage of particles in a tumbling ball mill are described by the equation Si = axαi ( Q ( z ), where Q ( z) is the probability function which ranges from 1 to 0 as particle size increases. This equation produces a maximum in S, and the particle size of the maximum is related to ball diameter by xm = k1d2.

With ballmill grinding being one of the most energyconsuming techniques, setting the optimal values of the operational and mineralogical parameters for efficient grinding is a key target in mineral processing plants [6,7,8,9,10].

The process of ball milling and the materials that compose planetary ball mills are highly complex, and the existing research on the change in ballmilling energy is not mature.
