in this research, the efficiency of the comminution circuit as well as the efficiency of size classification equipment of the concentrator plant 2 of sarcheshmeh copper complex was studied. the comminution circuit of this plant includes one sag mill in a closed circuit with a vibrating screen and one ball mill with a size classification system of hydrocyclone. the goal of this work was to calcu...

This paper examines the design of comminution circuits and the issues that impact on comminution circuit efficiency. Circuit efficiency is discussed, principally from the perspective of power efficiency. However, operating efficiency, maintenance efficiency, capital expenditure and return on investment are often the key efficiency factors in project development outweighing power efficiency cons...

Ball mill is vital equipment in industries viz. mineral dressing, ore processing, fertilizers, food and diary, pharmaceuticals and many others. The present work involves a meticulous study of the effect of the various parameters on the performance of a ball mill. The parameters studied in this work are particle size, number of balls, time of grinding, particle density, and speed of the ball mil...
