This invention relates to apparatus for milling or comminuting of particulate materials, particularly but not exclusively materials in liquid suspensions. The invention also relates to apparatus for forming emulsions or finely divided mixtures of different liquids. The invention also relates to apparatus for reactive processing of materials, for example reactive mixing of polymers or monomers to produce a finely divided reactive mixture, for example on the nanometric scale.
Ball mills, bead mills and colloidal mills are well known. These generally comprise a cylinder with smooth internal surfaces into which grinding media are placed. These mills may have internal paddles with cutting edges having various shapes and radii allowing movement of the grinding media at high speed.
According to the present invention milling apparatus comprises a radially symmetrical sleeve having an axial passageway with an upstream inlet and a downstream outlet or vice versa, a radially symmetrical rotor located within the sleeve, one of the rotor and sleeve being rotatable relative to the other, the diameter of the rotor being less than the diameter of the sleeve at each axial position to define an annular passageway between the rotor and sleeve, one or both of the surfaces of the rotor and sleeve having formations adapted to increase the surface area encountered by particles in a fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet.
The apparatus of this invention may comprise a bead mill using beads or other particulate media. Alternative embodiments not employing beads or particulate media may be used.
In a preferred embodiment the rotor is located co-axially within the sleeve. In an alternative embodiment the axis of the rotor may be displaced parallel to the axis to the sleeve. When beads or other grinding media are used the radial width of the annular passageway may be about twice the diameter of the beads or other particulate media. A single size of beads or other media is preferred.
The rotor and sleeve are preferably frustoconical. Alternatively they may be concave or convex bell shaped. A frustoconical configuration is preferred. Alternatively the rotor may be oval or elliptical in cross-section.
In preferred embodiments the diameter of the inlet is smaller than the diameter of the outlet. In alternative embodiments the diameter of the inlet is greater than the diameter of the outlet.
When the rotor is frustoconical, the apical angle may be in the range of 10- 140° preferably to 20-90° Greater angles provide various benefits without increasing the length of the apparatus in comparison to a conventional mill having the same inlet diameter. A greater angle provides a greater increase in surface area from the inlet to the outlet, increasing the residence time and extent of milling as a particle passing through the system. The total volume and hence capacity of the mill is also increased. Greater angles are preferred for high viscosity applications and for production of nanometric particles, reducing the liability of blockage on such a small scale.
Either the rotor or sleeve can rotate. Alternatively both the rotor and sleeve can rotate in opposite directions.
A further alternative the rotor and sleeve may be rotated in the same direction at different speeds. This arrangement may be employed when two or more devices in accordance with this invention are connected in series to control the rate of pumping through the apparatus.

The material (s) is added under pressure between the rotor and sleeve of the milling system, a pressure of 0. 1 to 2000bar poise, preferably 100 to 500bar, more preferably 1 to lobar.
Alternatively, the separation between the rotor and sleeve may be varied by locating the rotor axis a small distance from the sleeve axis to provide cavitation for high viscosity applications or in situations where no beads are employed.
An array of indentations is provided on the rotor, sleeve or both. The configuration and arrangement of the indentations and the rotor and sleeve may be the same or different in accordance with the requirements of the material to be milled. The indentations may be arranged in a multiplicity of circular arrays disposed longitudinally along the axis of the rotor and/or sleeve, adjacent circular arrays preferably being arranged in axially offset configuration so that corresponding portions of adjacent arrays do not coincide.

This is an important benefit arising from use of indentations and apparatus in accordance with the invention. Apparatus without the indentations or projections would permit the beads to collect in the outlet preventing efficient milling.
In preferred embodiments the beads or particles occupy up to 98% of the volume of the chamber, preferably 10-95%, more preferably 75-95%.
Two or more apparatus in accordance with the present invention may be connected together so that liquid flows successively from one to another. The larger diameter outlet of a first apparatus may be connected to the smaller diameter inlet of the following apparatus. Alternatively, the second apparatus may be connected in reverse configuration with a larger diameter inlet and smaller diameter outlet, the larger diameter portions of the adjacent apparatus being connected together. The apparatus may also be connected to a conventional ball or bead mill. Apparatus in this invention may be disposed vertically or horizontally or at any convenient angle.

Figure 4 is a side elevation of the rotor;
Figure 5 is a prospective view of a rotor received within a sleeve; and Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the rotor and sleeve shown in Figure 5.
Figures 1 to 6 illustrate a milling apparatus in accordance with the present invention. The rotor shown in Figures 1 to 4 is generally frustoconical in shape and comprises a first end (1) having a smaller diameter than the second end (2). The frustoconical surface of the rotor has an apical angle of 10-140° preferably 20-90°. Axial segments (3) of the rotor define adjacent arrays of indentations (4) spaced circumferentially around each segment. Each indentation (4) comprises a radially inwardly extending surface, for example as shown at (5) in Figure 2, adjoining a tangentially extending chordate surface (6) and a radially side portion (7).
