In a test performed in the Loesche test center in Germany, copper slag grinding saved 22.9% energy in an air-swept model and 34.4% energy in an overflow model [13,14].
Ball mills typically use water or other liquid and additives to help reduce friction and provide cooling during the grinding process. The feed enters one end of the ball mill, and discharges out the other end. Ball mills vary greatly in size, from large industrial ball mills measuring more than 25 ft. in diameter to small mills used for …
The Corem comminution team partnered with the University of British Columbia (UBC), which had long been researching and developing high-pressure …
