Transcribed image text: (b) Based on the ball mill feed and product size distribution, it is shown that the process is required to handle a wide range of particle sizes. For simple representation, mean particle size is typically used to describe the particle size for the process. There are various approaches to calculate the mean particle size, such as i) arithmetic mean diameter, ii) length

The ball mill accepts the SAG or AG mill product. Ball mills give a controlled final grind and produce flotation feed of a uniform size. Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds

Jul 05, 2020 The balls which could be of different diameter occupy 30 – 50 % of the mill volume and its size depends on the feed and mill size. The large balls tend to break down the coarse feed materials and the smaller balls help to form fine product by reducing void spaces between the balls. Ball mills grind material by impact and attrition

had decreased for the -2 mm +1.4 mm mono-size feed compared to the bigger -4 mm +2.8 mm mono-size feed. This therefore shows that should the material feed size continue to decrease, the smaller balls will perform better than the larger balls during milling, as was mentioned by Katubilwa et al.

Number, size and mass of each ball size depends on mill load and whether or not the media is being added as the initial charge. For the initial chargin of a mill, Coghill and DeVaney (1937) defined the ball size as a function of the top size of the feed, i.e., d †“V =

Mar 26, 2021 Ball mill grinding efficiency is influenced by many factors: ore grindability, feed size, grinding product size, ball mill diameter and length, ball mill working speed, liner type, steel ball loading system, grinding concentration, return sand ratio in closed-circuit grinding and feed rate.

The availability of a ball size for a particular feed size ensures breakage occurs at a faster rate. The 10 mm ball size is unable to nip the large particle size hence the breakage rate is slower
