Wet grinding is generally used in mineral processing operations because of the overall economies of operation.
The advantages of wet grinding are:
1. It consumes lower power per ton of product.
2. It has higher capacity per unit mill volume.
3. It makes possible the use of wet screening or classification for close product control.
4. It eliminates the dust problem.
5. It makes possible the use of simple handling and transport methods such as pumps, pipes, and launders.
