In this study, we used a planetary ball millin laboratory scale. The powders distribution, the balls distribution, and the wear were modeled using DEM. The simulations of dry mill were conducted by using a standard coefficient of restitution of 0.3 and a friction coefficient of 0.75 (ball-ball and ball-liner collisions) [20].

Ball Size Distribution In practice, at mill startup, instead of charging a single size of ball, usually a range of ball sizes is initially added.7.6 A ball mill is to produce a grind of 34 micron (Pso) product from a feed size of 200 microns at a rate of 1.5 t/h.

The Ball Charge in SAG and Ball Mills, in other words, the fraction of the mill volume constituted by balls, has a significant impact on the performance of a mill and the greater Grinding circuit. Running at the wrong Ball Charge adversely impacts not only throughput but the consistency of the product particle size (P80) as well.

The nepheline syenite obtained by the ceramic plants in a particle size of –0.5 mm is first milled. Ball mills are often used for grinding here. Raw materials such as quartz, feldspar and nepheline syenite, which form the ball mill phase, are milled to a particle size of –0.06 mm.

Based on his work, this formula can be derived for ball diameter sizing and selection: Dm <= 6 (log dk) * d^0.5 where D m = the diameter of the single-sized balls in mm.d = the diameter of the largest chunks of ore in the mill feed in mm.

The effect of ball size distribution increased with increasing mill filling and for the mill filling of 35%, the ball size distribution had the maximum effect on the power draw. When the mill charge contained mono-sized balls, the ball flow regime inside the mill transited to the cataracting and impact breakage was the main breakage mechanism.

The present study is taken to control the particle size distribution and reduce the specific energy consumption in an industrial ball mill. A batch mill of 2.21m diameter and 2.43m is used for grinding silica from average size of 3mm to below 80 microns. Silica pebbles are used as grinding media. Samples are collected at one hour interval ...

Ball Size vs. Grindability. It has been recognized that the grindability of an ore in a ball mill is a function of both feed and mill parameters: Work index, W i; Largest particle size and size distribution; Density of solids and slurry; Mill diameter; Rotational speed; Rowland and Kjos (1980) defined the largest ball size needed based on these ...

A laboratory size ball mill was used with ball media of sizes 10 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm respectively. Quartz was the material used to perform the experiment and was arranged into 3 mono-sizes namely -8 mm +5.6 mm, -4 mm +2.8 mm and-2 mm +1.4 mm for the experiment. A mill run having a mixture of the 3 ball diameter sizes was also conducted.

Abstract The theory of the calculation of the size distribution of the equilibrium mixture of balls in a ball mill is developed. The differential equation is solved for wear laws of the form wear rate per ball ∝ r2 + Δ where r is ball radius. Δ = 0 gives the Bond wear law and Δ = 1 gives the Davis wear law. Methods of determining Δ are illustrated. Experimental data are presented which ...

The ore leaving the primary grinding device is normally processed in a secondary mill (ball-mill or pebble-mill), to produce a size distribution suitable for separation of the mineral by flotation, gravity separation, etc. Mills typically have a drum housing, the inner face of which defines a cylindrical grinding chamber.

the apparent difference in capacities between grinding mills (listed as being the same size) is due to the fact that there is no uniform method of designating the size of a mill, for example: a 5′ x 5′ ball mill has a working diameter of 5′ inside the liners and has 20 per cent more capacity than all other ball mills designated as 5′ x 5′ where …
