The new copper processing plant of the Sarcheshmeh copper complex consists of two parallel circuits. After a primary crushing, the ore is sent to a SAG mill, and the product is further ground in a ball mill. The overflow of the hydrocyclones is fed to a flotation circuit that contains 8 rougher tank cells (RCS130), 3 cleaner cells (RCS50), 5 scavenger cells (RCS50), and a flotation column (as r...

Mechanical alloying of binary and ternary elemental powder mixtures with the nominal compositions of Mg2Ni and Mg(2-x)MnxNi (x= 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 at. %) were carried out in a planetary ball mill for various milling times of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 h. X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used for the characterization of the milled products...

Refining is one of the most energy intensive processes in the manufacture of paper and paperboard. While refining combines a blend of science, art, and operating experience, nearly all papermakers acknowledge that we over-refine our paper machine stock fiber. Series and parallel equipment line-ups are commonplace, and different hydraulic paths are necessary to accommodate the plethora blends of...

ball mills are common grinding equipment in mineral processing industries. ball wear results from three mechanisms namely impact, abrasion and corrosion. of these, the corrosion mechanism is the least investigated, due to its chemical-electrochemical nature. therefore, the aims of this research were to investigate the grinding chemistry influence (slurry ph, solid percentage, water chemistry an...

Metal casting company produces machinery spare part for manufactures. One of the product produced is dust filter. Most of palm oil mill used this product. Since it is used in most of palm oil mill, company often have problems to address this product. One of problem is the disordered of production process. It carried out by the job sequencing. The important job that should be solved first, least...

Nanocrystalline magnesium hydride powder was synthesized by mechanical milling of MgH2 in a planetary ball mill for various times. The effect of MgH2 structure, i.e. crystallite size, lattice strain, particle size and specific surface area on the hydrogen desorption properties was investigated. A single peak of hydrogen desorption was observed for as-received powder, exhibiting an average parti...

In the present work, the behavior of Cu-Cr powder mixtures during mechanical alloying has been studied. The powder mixtures with 1, 3 and 6 weight percents of Cr in Cu were treated. They were milled in a ball mill with two different speeds of 250 and 500 rpm using equal numbers of 1 and 2 centimeters balls. The weight ratio of balls to powders was 10 to 1 under argon atmosphere. Ethanol was use...

This paper compares Discrete Element Model predictions for power and variations in impact and abrasion (low angle impact) breakage with power and grinding rate predictions from the more "traditional" JKMRC models. The DEM predictions are based on measured mill load sizings from a large industrial SAG mill at two operating conditions. The load sizings can also be predicted with reasonable accura...
