Colloid mills achieve size reduction mainly by___________________?
Correct answer: B. Attrition
- A. Impact
- B. Attrition
- C. Cutting
- D. Compression
Explanation
A colloid mill uses intense shearing and rubbing between closely spaced surfaces, so attrition is the main size-reduction mechanism. Impact and compression are characteristic of other mills and crushers.
