Synthesis of Nano Particles

Ball milling is a method to produce nano materials by grinding and crushing materials down to sizes less than 100nm using grinding media like steel or tungsten carbide balls inside a rotating drum. This process can be used to make metallic and ceramic nano materials and is commercially viable for producing metal oxide nano crystals such as cerium oxide and zinc oxide. The grinding balls rotate at high energy inside the drum and fracture the solid materials into nano crystallites through repeated impacts from falling balls driven by gravity.

INTRODUCTION

Nano materials can be defined as


those materials which have
structured components with size less
than 100nm at least in one dimension.
Nanotechnology is an advanced
technology, which deals with the
synthesis of nano-particles,
processing of the nano materials and
their applications.

BALL MILLING

Ball milling is a method of production of


nano materials.
This process is used in producing
metallic and ceramic nano materials.
These mills are equipped with grinding
media composed of wolfram carbide or
steel.
Ball mills rotate around a horizontal
axis ,partially filled with the material to
be ground plus the grinding medium.

The balls rotate with high energy


inside a drum and then fall on the
solid with gravity force and crush
the solid into nano crystallites.

CONCLUSION

The significant advantage of this


method is that it can be readily
implemented commercially.
Ball milling can be used to make
carbon nanotubes and boron nitride
nanotubes.
It is a preferred method for preparing
metal oxide nano crystals like
Cerium(CeO2) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO).
