An assessment of grindability index of coal

In Hardgrove test, grindability index is determined when a constant crushing pressure (29 kg) is applied over some constant weight of coal (50 gm) to grind it in unit time, and undersized material (below 74 μm) is weighed to calculate the index. Therefore, high-moisture coals with less density and higher volume will get more …

Secrets of the Bond Ball mill grindability test

The ball mill grindability test sometimes referred to as the Bond test was developed in the 1930s by the Allis Chalmers company to help them perform ore hardness characterisation testing to assist in industrial mill sizing Maxson et al, (1933). It was extended by Bond (1952) to provide a work index result that was empirically calibrated

Grindability

The Hardgrove Grindability test is commonly used to characterize the milling behavior of coals. The test, first conceived by Hardgrove (1931) and later modified to the current constant-weight test in 1951 (ASTM D409-71, 1971; ISO 5074, 1994c), attempts to mimic the operation of a continuous coal pulverizer using a batch process. ...

Bond Work Index

Berry and Bruce (1966) developed a comparative method of determining the hardness of an ore. The method requires the use of a reference ore of known work index. The reference ore is ground for a certain time (T) in a laboratory tumbling mill and an identical weight of the test ore is then ground for the same time.Since the power input to the mill is …
