Keywords: Ball mills, grinding circuit, process control. I. Introduction Grinding in ball mills is an important technological process applied to reduce the size of particles which may have different nature and a wide diversity of physical, mechanical and chemical characteristics. Typical examples are the various ores, minerals, limestone, etc.
There is a similar pattern of change for both the power and breakage rate. Table 2 lists the values of power and the rate constant, both expressed as a fraction of their respective values at the optimum condition of 45 vol.% solid. ... This shifts the center of gravity of ball charge closer to the mill axis, causing a decrease in cascading ...
The basic parameters used in ball mill design (power calculations), rod mill or any tumbling mill sizing are; material to be ground, characteristics, Bond Work Index, bulk density, specific density, desired mill tonnage capacity DTPH, operating % solids or pulp density, feed size as F80 and maximum 'chunk size', product size as P80 and maximum a...

Research Highlights No considerable influence of speed ratio k in the range − 3 < k < − 1 on the grinding ball motion pattern was observed. Grinding ball motion is strongly affected by the friction arising, among others, from different feed materials. Friction necessarily has to be considered in studies on stress conditions in the planetary ball mill. Results suggest the possibility to ...
The effect of lifter face angle and height were studied for a lab scale ball mill. ... Each design aims to reduce energy consumption while providing successful charge motion pattern to aid grinding as well as lowering the maintenance requirements. The experimental mill was lined with a range of 8 rows of equal spaced carbon steel trapezoidal ...
SAG mills of comparable size but containing say 10% ball charge (in addition to the rocks), normally, operate between 70 and 75% of the critical speed. Dry Aerofall mills are run at about 85% of the critical speed. The breakage of particles depends on the speed of rotation.

The majority of grinding balls are forged carbon or alloy steels. Generally, they are spherical, but other shapes have been used. The choice of the top (or recharge) ball size can be made using empirical equations developed by Bond (1958) or Azzaroni (1984) or by using special batchgrinding tests interpreted in the content of population balance models (Lo and Herbst 1986).
Simulation outcomes suggest that mill diameter, topup ball diameter, inmill flow pattern, and two scaleup correction factors in Austin's model have a greater bearing on mill product. ... Appreciating the role of ball charge and wear rate on ball size distribution and the complexity involved with controlling the ball size distribution ...
A cascading motion pattern was always observed in the absence of mill feed and with a typical ball filling ratio of Nevertheless, by increasing the ball filling ratio or the friction conditions, due to the presence of the mill feed, the dynamics of balls changed to a cataracting regime.
Autogenous grinding is at present carried out in tumbling mills of the same types as used in ball mill grinding. The similarities in equipment and procedure have led to the commonly held assumption that the grinding mechanisms are the same in the two processes, with the coarse part of the ore charge taking over the function of the ball charge.
Discrete element method (DEM) modelling has been used to systematically study the effects of changes in mill operating parameters and particle properties on the charge shape and power draw of a 5m ball mill. Specifically, changes in charge fill level, lifter shape (either by design or wear) and lifter pattern are analysed. The effects of changes to the properties of the charge (ball fraction ...

Our best estimate found by comparing anecdotal wear rates with our predictions for ball mill lifters is around CHARGE MOTION IN A 5 m BALL MILL In this paper we concentrate on the behaviour and performance of a5 m diameter ball mill with 23 symmetrically placed lifter bars rotating clockwise at various fractions N of the critical speed of ...
The specific energy value ( kWh/t) obtained of both SAG5 and SAG6 tests were interpreted as equivalent to an increased ball charge and mill rotating speed. Both changes were thus beneficial to the SAG mill performance compared with the SAG2 test performance ( kWh/t), where both ball charge and mill speed were relatively low.
For overflow ball mills, the charge should not exceed 45% of the mill volume . For grate discharge mills, the charge should occupy about 50% of the mill volume . Bond developed a relationship that can be used to determine the percent charge by volume as a function of the vertical height above the charge, He, and the radius of the mill, R,,
Operation and Elements of a ClosedCircuit Ball Mill System . Cement ball mills typically have two grinding chambers. The first chamber is filled with larger diameter grinding media andlined with lifting liners . The first chamber coarsegrinds the feed material and prepares it for the second chamber. The second chamber is the fine grinding ...

The mill speed is one of the vital parameters in ball mills, which is normally specified as a fraction of critical speed. It determines whether the load behavior is predominantly the cascading regime, the cataracting regime or the centrifuging regime. In general, the industrial ball mills rotational speed operates at 70%~80% of critical
A transparent mill (552 × 180 mm), made of Perspex material and filled with 10 mm balls, was used for the tests. Ball filling and mill fractional speed were kept constant respectively at 20% and 60% while slurry filling was varied from 0% to 300%. Using a high speed video camera, the motion of the charge was captured.
Abstract. Ball size distribution is commonly used to optimise and control the quality of the mill product. A simulation model combining milling circuit and ball size distribution was used to determine the best makeup ball charge. The objective function was to find the ball mix that guarantees maximum production of the floatable size range ( ...
