where (y_{p}) is the 80% passing size of the mill product, (y_{f}) is the 80% passing size of the mill feed, C is a mill-material constant, and α is the exponent of particle size (its significance discussed in detail later). It has been shown [] that the value of the exponent α varies strongly with the material type, generally in the range of 0–2.
1. Introduction. Ball mill is one of the most commonly used mills for the crushing and grinding of mineral ore. It is generally used to grind material down to the particle size of 20 to 75 μm and can vary in size from a small batch mill up to a mill with outputs of hundreds of tonnes per hour.
Key words: Material balance, ball mill, hydro cyclone, flotation. Preamble An important aspect of any mineral processing study is an analysis of how material is distributed
Mass balance calculations can use the depiction of a flowsheet in two ways. Simple calculations should superimpose the calculation cells directly over the flowsheet, as in example calc #1. More complicated calcs should use the flowsheet to define stream numbers and then perform the computations in a table, as in example calc #2. Ball Mill ...
The evolution of size distribution in the mill is described by the following equation: d [Hm i (t)] d t =−S i Hm i (t)+ ∑ j=1 i−1 b ij S j Hm j (t) where m i is the mass fraction of a particular size class i, S i is the selection function or fractional breakage rate of size class i, b ij is the breakage distribution function of the size ...
Grinding in ball mills is an important technological process applied to reduce the ... principle in the development of each model is to establish mass balance or energy balance equations relating to the mass components or the energy involved in the process. The matrix type models are used when the size reduction is predominantly
