This study was conducted in Mouteh grinding circuit. Mouteh gold processing plant is located in Esfahan province,center of Iran, close to Mouteh open pit mine. One of the main problems in this circuit is low efficiency grinding operation. In this study, first grinding circuit and its performance parameters are evaluated. Laboratory and corrected operating Bond work index subsequently were calcu...

cement powder size classification efficiency significantly affects quality of final product and extent of energy consumption in clinker grinding circuits. static and dynamic or high efficiency air separators are being used widely in closed circuit with multi-compartment tube ball mills, high pressure grinding rolls (hpgr) and more recently vertical roller mills (vrm) units in cement plants to c...

A suitable grinding fineness and flow-sheet could potentially reduce the mechanical entrainment of gangue minerals in the flotation process of microcrystalline graphite. In this study, the suitable grinding fineness of a commercial graphite ore was estimated by mineralogy analysis and laboratory grind-flotation tests. The target grind size of this ore should be 92% passing 74 μm based on the mi...

Abstract: The specific rate of breakage is one of the most important factors in evaluation of grinding process especially in ball mill. In this article the effect of ball size and feed size on selection function were investigated using batch grinding circuit on two-iron ore anomaly (B, C) from sangan mine in north of Iran. Eight different monosize fractions were prepared between 2000 and 50...

Modifying blasting practices to achieve a more suitable mill feed size – which varies according to the crushing/grinding circuit – can achieve up to a 30% increase in throughput. Following an initial benchmarking of an operation’s practices, SRK can advise on how value-added blasting will deliver improvements in both mill capacity and overall consistency of performance. SRK employs modelling to...

Cement powder size classification efficiency significantly affects quality of final product and extent of energy consumption in clinker grinding circuits.

Handling uncertainties for parameters in nonlinear constraints using chance constrained programming (CCP) is not as straight forward as its linear counterparts. A simulation based CCP approach which can be thought as an alternative to handle such a situation, has been adopted in this work while solving a multi-objective optimization problem of an industrial grinding operation under various para...

simulation of grinding circuits has being performed from 30 years ago and is also to be more complete and powerful approach with improvement of mathematical models which simulate various processing units/machines. the modeling and simulation of various mineral processing circuits are presently performed. in order to simulate the present grinding circuits of esfordi phosphate processing plant, a...

in this paper, iron ore sample from the chadormalu was investigated to determine some comminution properties. chadormalu deposit is one of the largest iron ore mine in iran, which is located in yazd province. the representative ore sample contained 57%fe, 0.9%p and 0.17%s. the sample was crushed; afterward, it was ground in various grinding times according to the bond ball mill approach to spec...
