() Modelling comminution patterns within a pilot

This implies that even in the case of a SAG mill, a significant fraction of the rock comminution occurs in the same manner as in the AG case. The mass of each steel ball used in these experiments was about 1.74 kg, which is significantly less than the average mass of typical rock particles ($3.3 kg) (AG run #1).

Comminution circuits for gold ore processing

2021/1/1 · Since, semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) ball-mill circuits represent the single largest type of gold milling comminution circuits, the chapter focuses on SAG. At mines, where ore has become more competent during the life of the mine (and ore rarely gets softer as the mines go deeper) or at operations, where the SAG mill was undersized during design, operators find themselves limited by a SAG

Operating comminution circuits without grinding

Should a grinding media shortage arise, know that you have options and that you can tailor your comminution circuit operation. To learn out more about operating milling circuits with reduced or no grinding media (as AG-ball mills or single-stage AG mills), contact Grant Ballantyne, Rajiv Chandramohan or Matt Pyle .

Improved yields Mineral Processing

The actual comminution to particle sizes of around 5-10 mm is usually performed by autogenous or semi autogenous mills (SAG), which nowadays have diameters of up to almost 13 m, require a drive power of 25 MW and achieve throughput rates of 10 000 t/d.
