Page 1 of 5 Causes of ball mill accidents? posted in Safety: Hi, I have been reading many posts and other references in preparation of making my first batch of black powder including accident reports. I have a 15 lb capacity rubber lined rock tumbler (Thumblers Tumblers) and 200 brass 1/2 beads. If I am making standard black powder with this setup what is the likelihood and possible causes ...
Powerful black powder can be made with mill runs of between 2 and 4 hours. Use long drop cords. Unplug the cords at the electrical source, not at the ball mill, when you want to stop the mill. Run your mill remotely, outdoors, at least 150 feet away from people and inhabited buildings.
In my own experiments, I've found that I had to press the powder into "pucks" and crush and screen to get near the performance level as Goex. The economics of the home made black powder is very attractive if you don't count labor or equipment investment. The bought potassium nitrate and sulfur add up to about 3/lb.
Gunpowder (also called black powder) is a pyrotechnic composition, an explosive mixture of sulfur, charcoal and potassium nitrate (also known as saltpetre or saltpeter) that burns rapidly, producing volumes of hot solids and gases which can be used as a propellant in firearms and fireworks.. Because of its slow decomposition rate and consequently low brisance, gunpowder is classified as a low ...
Step 1: Parts and Tools. Below are the parts and tools that I used to make this ball mill. However, keep in mind that these are more guidelines than anything, and I encourage you to experiment with different sizes, parts, and designs. Parts: 1 length of PVC pipe (I used 6" of 2" diameter pipe) 1 PVC flat end cap. 1 PVC male screw adapter.

This kit contains enough chemicals to make 10 lbs. of black powder. This saves you about 20% vs. buying the chemicals individually. Important: Buy this kit if you are using a ball mill to make your black powder. For this method, you will need a ball mill, lead grinding balls, and screens for granulating the powder.
Remote and Level Location for Ball Mill Barricading the Ball Mill I've mentioned that a mill explosion is always a possibility when complete black powder compositions are being ball milled. So, try and place your mill behind a natural barricade like a mound of earth, a rock, or a big tree.
Manufacture of Black Powder. In the modern process, charcoal and sulfur are placed in a hollow drum along with heavy steel balls. As the drum rotates, the steel balls pulverize the contents; this device is called a ball mill. The saltpeter is crushed separately by heavy steel rollers.
This method will only make slow is my method: Ball mill, soft wood charcoal (willow,balsa,eastern red ceder)are a must. Good potassium nitrate and sulfur. Powders should be ground together with non sparking media for ball mill ie 1/2″ lead balls until powder is like flower.

To make 500gram batch Dissolve 375 grams of the prilled Potassium nitrate in 300ML of water the powder will dissolve as the pot is heated. When the liquid in the pot turns clearno white crystals add 125 grams of the milled sulfur/ (willow)charcoal. It takes a lot of mixing to get the fluffy powder mixed in.
Here's a shot of some stainless steel media and ceramic media. The stainless steel must be sparkresistant, nonmagnetic steel in the 300series. Alloys 304 and 316 are the most common stainless steels of this type. Highdensity alumina ceramic media is the type I've heard of most often being used in ball mills.
To start with, make a small hole in the top of the container. Punch or drill a hole about 2 to 3 mm in diameter in the top of the container. Place a wooden toothpick in the whole (you'll find out why later.) Fill the container about onethird to onehalf with granulated black powder, and glue the top back on.

Even in a ball mill with lead grinding elements, I would not grind the mixed ingredients. You have a large amount of powder, in a confined space, in a glass container (hmmm, shrapnel!). It's a disaster waiting to happen. Why take the risk, when it's just as simple to grind and ballmill the ingredients separately before mixing?

If you want to use argon gas in milling aluminum powder you must add oxygen as 810% to the stream of argon or even nitrogen gas to control the oxidation and prevent the explosion of the mill.
Black powder is the original gunpowder; ... This is achieved using a ball mill with a nonsparking grinding apparatus (, bronze or lead), or similar device. ... The explosion recorded was an accidental byproduct of Taoist alchemical efforts to develop an elixir of immortality.

00:00. Wetting homemade black powder, granulating the powder through a screen and then drying it on a paper lined tray. Once it is dry, work the powder through the 1020mesh screen one more time to break up clumps. Then put it into a sealed plastic container. Your blackpowder rocket fuel is now ready to use.
Making black powder The practice of making black powder (often abbreviated 'BP')is often oversimplified in textbooks. Merely mixing the components, potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur, does not result in real black powder. The mixture this obtained is called 'green powder' or 'polverone'. It bur
Black powder the basis for many things in the pyro hobby can be made in many, many different ways. In addition, the different common names for black powder are sometimes confusing and are certainly varied. ... The biggest danger from ball mills is the danger of explosion. Never ball mill BP indoors and always use nonsparking milling media ...
Abstract Ultrahightemperature Ta4HfC5HfB2 composites were prepared by electrothermal explosion (ETE) under pressure in a onestage process, with special emphasis on the influence of highenergy ball milling (HEBM) of starting TaHfCB powder mixtures. Synthesized Ta4HfC5HfB2 composites had a grain size smaller than μm and a porosity of 1012%. A synthesized composite has ...

A ball mill, a type of crusher, is a cylindrical device used to grind chemicals or mix compositions. Ball mills rotate around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium, ideally non sparking milling media like lead balls. An internal cascading effect reduces the material to a fine powder.
Gunpowder, also commonly known as black powder to distinguish it from modern smokeless powder, is the earliest known chemical explosive. It consists of a mixture of sulfur, carbon (in the form of charcoal ), and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). The sulfur and carbon act as fuels while the saltpeter is an oxidizer.
