Instead of conventional AG/SAG and ball mills, processes only with high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) and vertical mills (Fig. 5) or other combinations of mill types are employed in practice. Besides a pure grinding feed, a crucial aspect is the optimum energy utilization in beneficiation for the respective types of ore and applications.
This study was aimed to investigate the galvanic interaction between pyrite and chalcopyrite with two types of grinding media (low alloy and high carbon chromium steel ball) in grinding of a porphyry copper sulphide ore. Results indicated that injection of different gases into mill altered the oxidation-reduction environment during grinding.
26 ft long semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill and two 28 ft diameter x 44 ft long ball mills supplied through FL. The 40 ft SAG mill was supplied with a traditional bi-directional OEM lining system manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel and liners were installed utilising a 4,500 kg RME 7-axis reline machine. Since mill start-up in
The ball charge is a function of the bulk fraction of the SAG mill volume (Jb) occupied by balls; the ore retained in the mill is the result of the volumetric filling which depends on the ore size distribution (specially the % +6″ and the % −6″ +1″), on the rotational speed (N/Nc) and on the solid concentration by weight fraction inside ...
This is due to formation of hydrophilic metal hydroxides, principally iron from mill liners and grinding media, and precipitation of the hydroxides on the mineral surface during grinding such as semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) and ball milling (Senior and Trahar, 1991, Trahar et al., 1994, Peng et al., 2003).
Water from this tank is pumped to the grinding circuit where it is mixed with fresh ore by adding it to the SAG mill and ball mill feeds. After agitation leaching and gold extraction by RIP, water is recovered from the barren tailings in the tailings thickener. Part of the overflow from this thickener is passed through the SART plant (100 m 3 ...
Two sulphide ores were selected for this study: Ore 1 – a low grade iron–oxide hosted copper gold ore located in north–west Queensland, Australia; and Ore 2 – a high-grade strataform zinc deposit also located in north–west Queensland, Australia. Both samples were received as coarse, dry belt-cut rocks.
The existing sulphide copper concentrator facility houses a primary jaw crusher, a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) and a ball mill, apart from the flotation and filtering circuits, concentrator thicker, tails thickener and a paste fill plant. Infrastructure facilities

By P Somasundaran And D W Fuerstenau. Mill is determined by its volume fraction in the mill or mass fraction if the densities are about the same but to a limited extent preferential grinding does occur in ball mills fig 1b presents the energy consumed per unit mass by quartz and limestone in a laboratory rod mill as a function of the time of grinding unit mass of 11 mix.
Part of the expansion included increasing the refractory sulphide ore circuit throughput from 5Mtpa to 7.5Mtpa. This was achieved by the installation of a 12MW SAG mill with a diameter of 10.97m (36ft). The mill, when built, was the largest SAG …

itors in grinding [4,5] and by flushing nitrogen through a ball mill [6]. This work was undertaken in order to establish the relative significance of corrosive and abrasive wear in ore grinding.
Mining and ore processing at Antapaccay . The mine consists of two pit operations and a concentrator plant. The concentrator plant, which consists of a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill and two ball mills, can process 70,000 tonnes of copper sulphide ore per day using crushing and rotation.
and significance of grinding environment in mineral and ore flotation [8, 10-25] but these investigations are not reported for grinding of porphyry copper sulphide ores. Therefore, this paper was aimed to study electrochemical behavior inside ball mills and influence of milling environment (pulp chemistry) on flotation process.
Ball mills are common grinding equipment in mineral processing industries. Ball wear results from three mechanisms namely impact, abrasion and corrosion. Of these, the corrosion mechanism is the least investigated, due to its chemical-electrochemical nature. Therefore, the aims of this research were to investigate the grinding chemistry influence (slurry pH, solid …
For this study, materials (copper sulphide ore) were sampled from the SAG mill feed in Sungun copper concentrator plant. The density of ore was 2.8 g/cm 3. The ore was crushed in a laboratory scale jaw crusher and roll crusher successively to prepare materials for ball mill grinding tests.

A number of plants processing finely/sparsely disseminated ores are known to have adopted stirred milling technology for their fine grinding needs (Enderle et al., 1997; Harbort et al., 1999; Gao et al., 2000; Davey, 2003 & 2006; Pease et al., 2006).There are different kinds/designs of stirred mills available on the market but, all can be ...

Problem with gold recovery from sulphide ore: How may a mill get the maximum recovery of gold from a sulphide ore, at the least capital cost and at the same time obtain the highest net return.This latter point is most important. In many cases a gold mill using an all-cyanide flowsheet with fine grinding of all the ore will report very low gold content in the …

SAG is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. SAG mills are autogenous mills that also use grinding balls like a ball mill. A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%.[6][7] The largest SAG mill is 42′ (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor.[8]
