A ball mill is a type of grinder used to grind and blend materials for use in mineral processing, ceramics, paints, and other industries. The materials that can be ground by a ball mill include:

1. Ores: Various types of ores such as gold, silver, copper, iron, zinc, lead, and others can be ground by a ball mill.

2. Minerals: Ball mills can be used to grind various minerals such as limestone, quartz, feldspar, calcite, talc, barite, and others.

3. Ceramics: Ball mills are commonly used for grinding ceramic materials such as clay, glaze, and porcelain.

4. Chemicals: Ball mills can also be used to grind chemicals such as fertilizers, pigments, and others.

5. Other materials: Ball mills can be used to grind other materials such as cement, silicates, refractory materials, and others.

Here is a table showing the approximate capacity range for some commonly used ball mills:

| Ball Mill Type | Capacity Range |

|---------------|----------------|

| Overflow ball mill | 0.5 - 90 ton per hour |

| Grid ball mill | 0.2 - 100 ton per hour |

| Rod mill | 0.5 - 500 ton per hour |

Please note that these capacity ranges are only approximate and can vary depending on various factors such as the specific ball mill design, operating conditions, and other factors. It is recommended to consult with a professional engineer or manufacturer to determine the most suitable ball mill for your specific application.
