Read MoreBall Mill Circuit Classification System Efficiency As described above, "fines" may be defined as any material smaller than a specified product size, and "coarse" as any material that is larger. The target 80 percent passing size of the grinding circuit product is a convenient reference point, as it is often used to express the grind size objective.
Read MoreHPGR-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.

Read MoreRunning a pilot ball mill circuit can overcome this problem but this requires a reasonably large sample and therefore can be costly. In addition a valid scale-up procedure is required. To overcome these limitations in using modelling and simulation for designing ball mill circuits, a programme of research was initiated at the JKMRC in which it ...
Read MoreFor modern large gold plants, the most typical flowsheets are crushing circuits (for heap leaching), autogenous/semiautogenous (AG/SAG) ball-mill circuits, or HPGR-ball-mill circuits. Such flowsheets dominate the 20 largest gold producers in Table 17.1. Examination of the flowsheets within each category, though, also demonstrates that the …

Read MoreIn 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 ...

Read More75 µm has been used in SAG and ball milling circuits as the marker size to define what is considered 'fines' (Ballantyne et al., 2015c; Musa and Morrison, 2009). However, alternative marker sizes may be considered when this is ineffective, for operations targeting significantly coarser or finer size reduction.
