How To Spot Malachite (Real or Fake) Easy Identification

Using the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, malachite ranks between 3.5 to 4. This means that it can easily scratch a penny but can't scratch glass. Testing the hardness of your specimen against known standards can confirm if it fits the profile of malachite. Birefringence Test. Malachite does not exhibit birefringence.

Secrets of the Bond Ball mill grindability test

The ball mill grindability test sometimes referred to as the Bond test was developed in the 1930s by the Allis Chalmers company to help them perform ore hardness characterisation testing to assist in industrial mill sizing Maxson et al, (1933). It was extended by Bond (1952) to provide a work index result that was empirically calibrated

The effect of mineralogy on the grindability was investigated using three copper ores - two sulphides and one oxide. The dominant copper minerals were identified by optical microscopy and mineral ...

A new approach to the calculation of bond work index

The grindability of raw material is generally determined by Bond's standard ball mill grindability test (developed by the Allis Chalmers company). The ball mill grindability test is used for describing ore hardness and it is so widespread that the Bond Work Index generated from the test is often referred to as an ore characteristic. The ore ...
