Comparing strategies for grinding itabirite iron ores
In the case of SAG operation, different ball fillings can be used (Napier-Munn et al., 1996). Circuits can operate in open circuit or in closed circuit with a classifier. Further, either SAG or AG mills can be operated in a stand-alone mode (single-stage) or coupled to a ball mill in FAB or SAB configurations (Gupta and Yan, 2016).

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
