Comminution circuits for gold ore processing
Since SAG ball-mill circuits represent the single largest type of gold milling comminution circuits, such circuits will be the focus of this chapter. Much has been written about SAG milling, and readers are referred to the volumes of the three SAG conferences (conducted in Vancouver in 1989, 1996, and 2001; University of British …

Variable Speed SAG Mill
Comminution Circuit Description. The control strategy for the SAG mill is fairly basic. Parameters which can be adjusted are feed tons per hour and mill speed. The combination of the two are used to maintain a target feed trunnion bearing pressure of 520 psi, and power draw between 95% and 105% of available current (2,620 amps).

Helping to reduce mining industry carbon emissions: A step-by …
Ball mills in HPGR-Ball mill circuits tend to have more installed capacity than their counterparts in AG/SAG-Ball mill circuits. This is because the product size distribution from AG/SAG mills tends to have more fine material than the HPGR circuit product ( Morrell, 2009, Morrell, S., 2011 ) and hence need less ball mill power.

Quantifying the energy efficiency of fine grinding circuits
For typical circuits that involve AG/SAG, HPGR or ball milling, the generation of -75 µm material (denoted as SSE75) is a suitable marker size with which to benchmark performance because it contains 80% of the surface area generation 1 and energy is proportional to surface area generation 2. As shown in Figure 1, whereas the …

Selection oof Comminution Circuits for Improved Efficiency
The benchmark circuit varies with plant capacity and ore competency: • Single stage crush/single stage SAG mills and two stage crush/ball mill circuits are typically selected for low throughput plants (<50 t/h) where personnel costs are a large component of costs. • SAB circuits are typically selected for plants of 0.5 to 2 Mt/a.

SABC Grinding Circuit
The SABC circuit design is to accept minus 8″ run of mine ore from a 12,000 ton silo. Two Forano pan feeders discharge from the silo onto a 48″ belt which feeds the 32′ x 13.5′ mill. The mill is powered by two 5500 hp D.C. motors. Nominal mill speed is 10.7 r.p.m. (78% critical) with a top speed of 11.3 r.p.m.

Autogenous and Semi-Autogenous Mills
A typical SAG-HPGR-Ball mill circuit suggested by Patzelt et al. [6] is shown in Figure 9.6, where the pebbles from the SAG mill are crushed in the high-pressure grinding rolls. It is a general observation that SAG mills are helpful for grinding where wide variations in the grindability of ores are experienced.

What's the Difference Between Ball Mill, Rod Mill and SAG Mill?
Ball mill： Ball mills are the most widely used one. Rod mill： The rod mill has the highest efficiency when the feed size is <30mm and the discharge size is about 3mm with uniform particle size and light overcrushing phenomenon. SAG mill: When the weight of the SAG mill is more than 75%, the output is high and the energy consumption …

A conventional SAG and ball mill circuit (SABC) is used to treat material at a production rate of 30,000 t/d. The primary crusher product, having an 80% passing size of ~90 mm, is crushed and ground by the circuit to an 80% passing size of ~150 µm, after which it reports to rougher flotation. A diagram of the SAG and ball mill circuit is

additional crushing stages for increasing the throughput of existing SAG mill circuits [5]. In the case of such modification, the SAG mill product is coarser compared with the corresponding relatively coarse feed size distribution, thus resulting in a higher energy requirement for ball milling in SAB–Semi-autogenous ball mill circuits.

Modelling SAG milling power and specific energy
Actual comminution circuits consist in most of the cases in coarse crushing, SAG milling, pebble crushing and secondary ball milling. In these circuits the SAG mill is the largest energy consumer. In many engineering projects either a power equation and/or a specific energy equation are used for the designing of these mills but not always with ...

A method for predicting the specific energy requirement of comminution
The ball mill circuit specific energy will be dictated by the AG/SAG mill circuit product size (so-called transfer size), the final grind size and ore hardness and its value may also be very different to W b. However, it is expected that the sum of the AG/SAG mill circuit specific energy and the ball mill circuit specific energy will be equal ...
