Since, semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) ball-mill circuits represent the single largest type of gold milling comminution circuits, the chapter focuses on SAG. At A run-of-mine (ROM) ore milling circuit is primarily used to grind mined ore containing valuable metals into a very ne product. The ne material is sent to a downstream process Throughput and product quality control for a grinding mill circuit

Step 1: Milling. When ore enters the plant from underground it first needs to be milled to reduce its size so that the gold is liberated from the host rock. South Deep’s milling circuit consists of a single-stage semi-autogenous grinding mill (SAG) and a pebble crusher for primary milling, followed by secondary milling using two overflow ball55 known as the distribution function [45, 46]) describes the distribution of fragment sizes obtained after a breakage of particles of size xj.Thus, b1j, b2j,,bnj are the mass fractions of particles in size classes 1, 2,,n after a breakage of particles in size class j. The mechanism of breakage is illustrated in [23] by a diagram shown in Fig. 3.Grinding in Ball Mills: Modeling and Process Control Sciendo
The gold and copper comminution curves are displayed in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 respectively. For gold producing mines the average energy was 353 kW h/oz and for copper it was 1134 kW h/t. The Battelle Columbus Laboratories (1975) reported the comminution energy intensity of gold and copper to be 42.9 kW h/oz and 3410 kW h/t respectively.Glossary for the milling process Milling circuit open and closed. The milling circuit is the complete mill system from beginning to end, including feed mechanism Suitable minerals such as copper or iron ore are listed in table 4. This type of mill has the distinct advantage of accepting coarse feedstock and supplying a relatively fineMineral processing milling
Abstract. The objective of milling gold ores is to extract the gold for the highest financial return. To recover the maximum amount of gold, the ore must be finely ground in order to liberate the gold particles for gravity separation and/or chemical extraction. Ores yielding acceptable gold recovery (more than 88%) when “normally groundProcess description. The grinding circuit under study operates in a closed loop as shown in Fig. 1. It consists of a ball mill, a pump sump, hydrocyclones, as well as associated pumps and solids feeding conveyors.
