Compositions and methods for grinding inorganic particles, such as cement, cement clinker, limestone, or other inorganic particles, involving a grinding efficiency enhancing additive comprising a crude glycerin byproduct, obtained through the use of heterogeneous catalyst processes in biodiesel fuel production. The molecules generated through the use of such heterogeneous catalytic processes result in a crude glycerin that confers good additive formulation stability, while avoiding or minimizing large quantities of undesirable compounds such as fatty acids, fatty acid esters, and salts. 1. A method for grinding particles , comprising:(A) introducing a grinding additive composition into a plurality of particles to be ground to finer particle size in a ball mill or roller mill, the particles chosen from cement, clinker, calcite, limestone, aragonite, sea shells, marl, limonite, clay, shale, sand, bauxite, blast furnace slag, fly ash, natural pozzolan, calcium sulfate, or mixtures thereof;(B) the grinding additive composition comprising a crude glycerin byproduct obtained using a heterogeneous catalytic process during biodiesel fuel production, the crude glycerin byproduct comprising: (i) 1,2,3-propanetriol in an amount of 50-99 percent; (ii) at least one glycerol ether in an amount of 5-50 percent; and (iii) chloride salt, ash, fatty acid, and fatty acid ester in an amount of 0-1 percent, the foregoing percentages based on total weight of the crude glycerin generated by the heterogeneous catalytic process; and(C) grinding together the grinding additive composition and plurality of particles in the ball mill or roller mill, whereby the particles are ground to finer particle size.2. The method of wherein the at least one glycerol ether is chosen from methoxypropanediol claim 1 , ethoxypropanediol claim 1 , propoxypropanediol claim 1 , butoxypropanediol claim 1 , or a mixture thereof.3. The method of wherein the at least one glycerol ether is a methoxypropanediol chosen ...
