Grinding & Classification Circuits
Started by [email protected]. I have to grind a ore sample (1 kg at -6 mesh) to 80% passing 300 microns using a lab rod mill. However, I am getting inconsistent results. For a set time to achieve 300 microns determined from the grind curve, sometimes I get finer than 300 micr...

ABC closed circuit, Autogenous-Ball-Mill-Crusher. Another similar technique is the ABC open circuit where the crusher product feeds the ball mill rather than the autogenous mill. Crusher product is typical feed to a ball mill using large diameter balls but not much grinding of 20-25 mm ore can be accomplished in an autogenous mill.

Helping to reduce mining industry carbon emissions: A step …
HPGR-Ball mill circuits have the potential to reduce the Mining Industry's CO 2 emissions by 16.3 megatonnes/year when compared to AG/SAG/Ball mill circuits. This saving climbs to 34.5 megatonnes/year if HPGRs are also used instead of ball mills. Despite this huge potential saving, uptake of HPGR technology has been relatively slow.

Closed circuit ball mill – Basics revisited
The ball mill-hydrocyclone circuit and the ball mill-screen circuit were sampled in order to measure and compare the performance of the circuits. The ball mills are different in design. Therefore, simulation studies were carried out to eliminate the differences in factors affecting the performance of the circuits such as milling conditions.

Basic Ball Mill Grinding Circuit
The speed of mills depends upon their diameter; a ball-mill of 3 feet revolves 35 times a minute, and one of 5 or 6 feet, 29 or 27 times. Tube-mills run at a revolution or two faster (see Fig. 117). Some ores require much finer grinding than others to liberate the minerals, and this increases the milling cost. Ball Mill Product Classifying

In this example the ball mill circuit classification system efficiency is 77.1 per cent at 75 μs. This means that 77.1 per cent of the particles in the mill are 'coarse' and that 77.1 per cent of the mill power is being used 'effectively'. Conversely, 100-77.1, or 22.9 per cent of the mill contents are 'fine' and are being ...
