| 1. A method of milling cerium compound, comprising:
providing the cerium compound and a milling medium in a cylindrical ball mill container of a ball mill, the milling medium
having a Hb/r ratio between 1.2 and 1.9 where Hb is the depth of the milling medium in the ball mill container and r is the radius of the ball mill container; and
rotating the ball mill container at a rotational speed 50% or less of a critical rotational speed of the ball mill container,
the critical rotation speed being defined as Nc=299/r1/2 where Nc is expressed in rpm and r is expressed in cm.
