The document discusses raw material granulometry and ball charge design for grinding mills.

The raw materials discussed are limestone, clay mix, iron ore, additive and silica sand.

The ball charge is designed using the Slegten method and distributed in two compartments and a fine grinding zone based on the ball diameters and volumes.
