In this article, alternative forms of optimizing the milling efficiency of a laboratory scale ball mill by varying the grinding media size distribution and the feed material particle size distribution were investigated. Silica ore was used as the test material.
SAG Mill Circuit Example – Gold Processing SAG mill circuit example for gold processing [image: (135-6-3)] AG/SAG Mill. AG/SAG mills are normally used to grind run-off-mine ore or primary crusher product. Wet grinding in an AG/SAG mill is accomplished in a slurry of 50 to 80 percent solids. 2D and 3D simulations of particles in a SAG Mill
Both programs have been used in a wide variety of optimisation and design projects over many years. This paper provides an overview of both JKSimMet and JKSimFloat and examples of how both programs have been used to better understand, develop and optimise mineral processing circuits .
Unlike local optimization, a systemic approach allows to use the comparative advantages between the stages in order to obtain a better overall result of the operation. Frequently Mine-to-Mill optimization demands technology transfer to the industry. The four steps of Mine-to-Mill optimization .

There are six parallel conventional milling circuits at Palabora Mining Company. Each milling circuit consists of a rod mill followed by a ball mill in series. Crusher product (-9 mm) is fed to the rod mill, and the water is fed in ratio to the ore feed mass. The rod mill discharge is pumped, without any further water addition, to the first ...
Comminution Circuits for Gold Ore Processing - Autogenous circuits require an ore of suitable competency (or fractions within the ore of suitable competency) to serve as media. S circuits may employ low to relatively high ball charges (ranging from 2% to 22%, expressed as volumetric mill filling) to augment autogenous media.
