Grinding media for a high-purity alumina powder would normally be made of

  • A.lead spheres chosen for their high density
  • B.ordinary flint pebbles from a river bed
  • C.alumina of the same purity as the powder
  • D.hardened carbon steel balls of the usual kind

Answer: C

Correct answer: alumina of the same purity as the powder

Milling media wear, and whatever they are made of ends up in the powder. For a high-purity product the only acceptable contaminant is more of the same material, so the media are made of it - which is why alumina and zirconia media exist despite costing far more than steel.
