cycle test akin to the Bond Ball mill work . index determination. The first cycle starts with minus 6 mesh ore removed since it is believed that the fines content can fill most of the voids allowing little room for rock breakage and piston movement. Without adequate piston movement there is little measurable energy used
milling in exactly the same way as the Bond laboratory ball mill work index can be used to compare the relative grindability of different ores in ball milling (Bond, 1961 and Rowland and Kjos, 1980) To use the Bond ball mill work index to determine the ball mill specific energy required for a particular

In our lab course, we will work with a centrifugal ball mill. The feedstock can be filled up to 10 mm and will be milled to particles of about 1 μm. The mill consumes a maximum power of 100 W. (Do not assume the mill produces 100W of comminution power) In Fig. 6 the parts of the mill are described. A B C Figure 6: Centrifugal ball mill
The Bond's standard ball mill is used to determine the work index value of differ ent samples. The Bond work index is defined as the kilowatt-hours per short ton required to break from infinite size to a product size of 80% passing 100 µm. If the breakage characteristics of a material remain constant over all size ranges, the calcul ated work

The energy specific cumulative grinding rate at each screen size is calculated from a torque-mill test as in the example that follows. Torque mill solids load during test: 11.25 kg (24.8 lb) of ball mill feed sample from plant survey. Sample is reconstituted with water to be
The Bond ball mill work index test has been used for ore hardness characterization for more than 80 years. Nevertheless, the test suffers from significant disadvantages when compared with other characterization methods. It is expensive, labour …

The aim of this study was to develop a new method for assessing the Bond work index in a ball mill (BBWI), which is based on a first order kinetics present in the Bond ball mill for grinding mineral raw materials (Austin et al., 1981; Ahmadi and Shahsavari, 2009). Theoretical basis of quick procedure

of 100 µm, the ball milling work index accounts for approximately 70% of the weighting in the Bond standard calculation (GMG, 2015), with the rod mill taking 25% and the crushing work index 5%. Newmont's operations cover the full range of the BWi energy curve, with Mine 7 the most competent ore and
The work index expresses the resistance of the material to grinding. It represents the kilowatt hours per tonne required to reduce the material from theoretically infinite feed size to 80 passing 100μm (Wills and Napierpercent -Munn, 2006). Bond devised several methods for predicting ball-mill and rod-mill energy requirements and
charge motion. It is well known that ball milling efficiency varies during the lifetime of the shell liner. For instance, the mill performance could become worse or better by putting in a new shell liner. Data from pilot plant test work illustrates the influence of the shell lifting effect on the grind for a primary grinding duty.
