Standard drop weight, SMC, and Bond ball work index tests have been conducted to investigate the comminution circuit of a magnetite ore located in Eastern Hebei, China. In addition, simulations based on JKSimMet and Morrell models have been performed to compare the specific energy consumption of various comminution circuits. According to the desired capacity and the …
A pilot-scale HPGR with a roll diameter of 300mm, a roll length of 150mm, and powered by two 15kW motors was used for the test program. The HPGR is equipped with pressure, gap, speed and torque sensors. A bin over the HPGR helps maintain choke feeding conditions. The pilot-scale HPGR circuit is shown in Figure 1.
plants which use HPGR for regrinding are CVRD/Brazil, WISCO mineral/China, and Ardakan/Iran. In ball milling, particle size reduction occurs by impact and attrition breakage. It is established in ball milling, the particle size distribution curve of the product is generally parallel to the feed size (Bond, 1961). In HPGR, size reduction is
Therefore, although HPGR use compression breakage and increased liberation can be achieved via this breakage mechanism, the rate required for high throughput may be too fast for this to be realised in practice. The Bond Ball Mill Work index (BBWi) is the industry standard procedure for assessing the grindability of ores.

A novel HPGR circuit is proposed to replace conventional ball mills and extend the energy benefits for final grinding before the flotation or leaching circuit. However, the typical moisture of the ball mill feed is 20–35%, while the highest acceptable feed moisture to the HPGR is ~10%.

On a windy night, the Pats beat the Bills while passing the ball only three times—the fewest since 1974. It was a game that revealed the …
Grinding developed by a combination of high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) followed by a ball mill (BM) was compared with a single ball mill process. The mineral characteristics of the grinding products were analyzed using a Tescan Integrated Mineralogical Analyzer (TIMA-X) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD).
Patzelt (1992) stated that certain HPGR-ball mill arrangements consume 30% less energy than those with only ball mills. This is supplemented with case studies from cement manufacture plants adopted HPGR (Von Seebach, Neumann, and Lohnherr 1996). Researchers linked the energy-efficient use of HPGR-ball mill arrangements with two main reasons.
An effect of a grinding method, that is ball mill and high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR), on the particle size, specific surface area and particle shape of an iron ore concentrate was studied. The particle size distribution was meticulously examined by sieve, laser and image analyses. To measure the specific surface area of particles, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) …
The product size from HPGR can be much finer than the corresponding ball or rod mill products. As an example, the results by Mörsky, Klemetti and Knuutinen [12] are given in Figure 6.8 where, for the same net input energy (4 kWh/t), the product sizes …
Unlike in ball milling, the residence time for individual particles in the bed is the same in HPGR. All particles in the feed experience a fixed-time of residence ( Fuerstenau et al., 1991 ). Even then, Gutsche and Fuerstenau (2004) showed that similar to ball mills, the self-similar behavior holds true for the product size distribution of the ...
Compared with newer milling devices such as VRM and HPGR, ball mills have the highest specific power consumption and the lowest power utilization (about 32–35 kWh/ton depending on the material hardness and to fineness between 3,000 and 3,200 cm 2 /g). Most of the energy is lost as a result of heat from the collision of the steel balls among ...

HPGR technology has been advancing within manufacturing facilities and research centers since its first installation in 1985. Over the last three decades much of the literature on HPGR have focused on the industrial applications and trade-off studies in comparison with semi-autogenous and ball milling circuits.
Based on the working principles of particle bed comminution, particles produced by high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) have surface properties different from particles produced by other grinding patterns, which exert great influence on mineral flotation. Flotation performances of calcite particles under different grinding patterns involving the use of HPGR, a jaw crusher, a …
results. For instance, Solomon et al. (2011) ground a platinum-bearing ore from South Africa by HPGR and ball milling, and they discovered that the ore was not preferentially liberated by the HPGR. Vizcarra et al. (2010) also reported that the liberation behavior of two types of sulfide ores was independent of the breakage method.

Design and Optimisation Of Grinding Circuits. International Journal of Mineral Processing, 74, 133-141. The model predicts the total comminution energy of most types of plant that contain conventional crushers, High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) and wet tumbling mills such as Autogenous (AG) Semi-autogenous (SAG), rod and ball mills.
The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of microwave treatment on copper sulfide ore for ball milling and bed breakage. Liberation analysis of ground products in eight size fractions showed that microwave pretreatment liberated more chalcopyrite particles from the bed breakage product than the ball mill product. In bed breakage, microwave pretreatment caused …
Water scarcity dictates to limit the use of water in ore processing plants particularly in arid regions. Since wet grinding is the most common method for particle size reduction and mineral liberation, there is a lack of understanding about the effects of dry grinding on downstream separation processes such as flotation.
