12th AusIMM Mill Operators' Conference 2014 …

(Equation 1) includes ore grindability in the mill grinding efficiency metric. Mill grinding efficiency is essentially the mill grinding rate (t/kWh) normalised by a grindability value (g/rev). The ore grindability value is typically obtained by performing a batch grindability test on ball mill feed (cyclone underflow).

A previous study developed a simplified grinding model (SGM) to gain a solution of batch milling although it included an unspecified function of the particle size x, F R (x).The present study analyzes the properties of the ball mill grindability (BMG) to specify the form of F R (x) and discusses the usefulness of the SGM.The BMG test, the …

A new approach to the calculation of bond work index

The ball mill grindability test is used for describing ore hardness and it is so widespread that the Bond Work Index generated from the test is often referred to as an ore characteristic. The ore resistance to grinding and energy consumption can be expressed using the work index and Bond's Third Theory. The Bond Third Theory method is widely ...

Variability Study of Bond Work Index and Grindability Index …

It is a well-known fact that the value of the Bond work index (wi) for a given ore varies along with the grinding size. In this study, a variability bysis is carried out with the Bond standard grindability tests on different critical metal ores (W, Ta), ranging from coarse grinding (rod mills) to fine grinding (ball mills). The relationship between wi and …

Why is the Bond Ball Mill Grindability Test done the …

The Bond Ball Mill Grindability Test (Bond, 1952, 1961) gives the Bond Ball Mill Work Index. This Index expresses the resistance of a material to ball milling; the higher the value of the Bond Ball Mill Work Index, the more difficult it is to grind the material using a ball mill. This Index is widely used in the mineral industry for:
