Grinding Media
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The grinding media is a
very important factor of the mills internals, not only on a
|
|
|
|
mill's efficiency point
of view but also on a wear point of view.
|
|
|
|
|
The presentation is
composed of the following chapters:
|
|
|
|
|
|

Particle Size
Distribution - Representation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This paper describes the
methods to represent a particle size distribution.
|
|
|
|
5 methods are presented:
Linear, Linear with X- log scale, Log-Normal, Gaudin-Scumann
|
|
and Rosin-Rammler
distributions. An example of linear regression is also detailed.
|
|

Other mill power formulas
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The paper describes two
well-known ball mill power formulas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These formulas are used
in the mining industry but also in the cement area:
|
|
|
|
1. the Bond power formula
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. the Hogg and
Fuerstenau power formula
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Calculators are also
available in the tools page.

Study of the grinding
balls distribution inside the mill
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The grinding balls
distribution inside the mill is presented in three parts:
|
|
|
|
|
1. the sampling campaign
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. the analysis of the
samples
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. the analyse of the
results and the interpretation
