A standard ball-mill Bond test indicated that the grindability was 2.28 grams per revolution at a test screen size of 106 μm. The ore was ground in a wet closed circuit ball mill ...
In addition, they indicate that the Bond ball mill work index is equal to 15.3 kWh/ton, which corresponds to a mineral with the presence of chalcopyrite. The rheological characterization related ...
1. A grindability measurement made in a laboratory work index apparatus, such as a ball mill work index (WiBM) or a rod mill work index (WiRM) 3. An operating work index (WiO): A measurement of a specific energy consumption and …
The fragility of ore depends upon its strength. In a crushed product or mining product, the fragile ore degen-erate to a undesirable fine product during blasting, excavation, loading and transportation. Similarly in a crushing and comminution process by crusher, ball mill or rod mill, as the ore of high strength attains to a desired size, the fragile ore degenerates …

The Tovarov grindability index is used to determine the influence of materials on the cement clinker grinding capacity of a mill; the basis is rotary kiln clinker with a defined grindability index of a = 1.According to this, a mill grinding 30 t/h clinker, will grind 30 x 1.40 = 42 t/h of marl or 30 x 0.6 = 18 t/h of silica sand. The grindability index of rotary kiln clinker itself …
