1.. IntroductionThe Tower mill is a vertical stirred type of grinding equipment developed in the early 1950s by the Japanese (Shibayama and Mori, 1999).Compared with the ball mill, it consumes 4060% less energy because of the efficient use of grinding media to which a force of 3033 times bigger than the gravitational force is applied; and it removes finely ground particles as soon as ...

Ball mill was employed to conduct the grinding test of seven different samples. Among all seven samples collected from the different faces of quarry, Bond work index of limestone Face4A results less than 20kwh/t, remaining 6 samples are marked as hard rock because of high energy consumption and low grindability rate.

The power required to crush the limestone was 8 kW. Estimate the power required (Kick's law) to crush the same limestone having a mean size of 2 mm. Assume all material charged had to be crushed. The closed set of an operating jaw crusher was 125 mm. A continuous stream of ore was fed at the rate of 30 t/h.

The derived eqs. 9, 15 and 16 make it possible to abbreviate the Bond test to only two grinding tests. The abbreviated procedure for finding the work index is as follows: (1) The work index is determined from feed crushed to 100% minus mm (the same as for the standard Bond test). (2) The feed is screened to determine its size distribution ...

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

The Bond Ball Mill Work Index (BBWi) test is carried out in a standardised ball mill with a predefined media and ore charge. The Work Index calculated from the testing can be used in the design and analysis of ball mill circuits. The test requires a minimum of 10kg of sample that has been stagecrushed to 100% passing size of < mm.

The Bond work index can be determined by many ways, some of them are as follows: with the traditional standard method in a (1) Bondball mill or in a (2) Hardgrove mill with the conversion of the Hardgrove method's result to Bond work index by an empirical formula, (3) with the more worksaving Karra algorithm (compared to the standard Bond ...

The fragility of ore depends upon its strength. In a crushed product or mining product, the fragile ore degenerate to a undesirable fine product during blasting, excavation, loading and transportation. Similarly in a crushing and comminution process by crusher, ball mill or rod mill, as the ore of high strength attains to a desired size, the fragile ore degenerates to superfine.

Therefore, we estimated the resistance of the soil samples to ball milling in terms of specific power consumption for grinding. This was done by means of the Bond Ball Mill Standard test [24][25 ...
