Question

For milling operations, what kind of environment is preferred?

(a) Acidic

(b) Basic

(c) Active

(d) Inert

This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Fabrication of Nanomaterials topic in section Nanomaterials of Engineering Physics II

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) Inert

The best I can explain: Milling is the process of particle size reduction with the objective of mixing or blending and change of particle size. An inert environment is preferred for this process.
