A sleeve insert for covering one or more selected surfaces of one or more pulp lifters of a discharge end assembly including a discharge end wall of a mill shell partially defined by an outer perimeter wall thereof, the pulp lifters being mounted on the discharge end wall. The sleeve insert is formed to cover the selected surfaces to mitigate wear to which the selected surfaces are subjected when the sleeve insert is located in a predetermined position relative to the selected surfaces.

A rotary milling system includes a rotatable cylinder, a discharge grate, a discharge housing surrounding the grate, a valve moveable between an open and closed position being in fluid communication with the discharge housing, and a conveying pipe extending from the valve. The cylinder can include grinding media for abrading a product when the cylinder is rotated. The product is suspended and ground within a liquid medium. Upon conclusion of the milling, the valve is opened to allow the liquid medium and milled product to pass through the discharge housing and the conveying pipe. The liquid medium can flow back and forth through the grate during the milling operation, with the valve preventing discharge before conclusion. A liquid-drawing apparatus can be used to draw the milled product through the conveying pipe into a separator tank after opening the valve.

A method for preparing nanometer MAX phase ceramic powder or slurry having a laminated structure by means of ball milling and regulating the oxygen content of the powder. Micron-sized MAX phase ceramic coarse powder is adopted as a raw material, during ball milling, a gas or a liquid-state gas having a special effect is introduced into a ball milling tank, and by means of multi-dimensional functions and regulation such as ball milling parameters and gas reaction, the nanometer laminated MAX phase ceramic powder or the slurry containing the component is obtained. The surface components and the activated state of the powder are regulated while the particle size adjustment control of the powder is realized.
