Moreover, the laboratory-scale mill uses a ball size distribution with a smaller top ball size, which also alters the breakage regime in these two mills. The earliest scale-up model for prediction and design of the performance of an industrial-scale ball mill was formulated by Bond, 1952, Bond, 1960, a procedure that evolved from the ...

In total, 165 scenarios were simulated. When the mills charge comprising 60% of small balls and 40% of big balls, mill speed has the greatest influence on power consumption. When the mill charge is more homogeneous size, the effect of ball segregation is less and so the power consumption of the mill will be less affected.

Chimwani et al. (2015) and Taggart (1945) have shown that the variation in the ball size distribution can also be used so as to minimize the particle size range of a ball mill production. Ball mills tend to produce a given particle size distribution which is determined by the ball size distribution (Kotake et al., 2011 and Taggart, 1945) •

Abstract. 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 …

Ball mills give a controlled final grind and produce flotation feed of a uniform size. Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol.-% ore and 25% steel.

The condition for efficient grinding, defined by Eq. 7, will be fulfilled when the grain size distribution and the ball size distribution are the same, which means that the parameters of both distributions are equal in Eqs. 7 and 9: m c.
