The ability to simulate the Bond work index test also allows examination of truncated ball mill feed size distributions on the work index. For grinding circuits where the feed to a ball mill is sent directly to the classifier and the cyclone underflow feeds the ball mill (see Figure 3.10), a question arises as to whether this practice will alter the ball mill work index (BW i) of the material

First, a Jar Mill grindability test requires a 5 lb. (2 kg) sample and produces a direct measured specific energy (net Hp-hr/t) to grind from the design feed size to the required product size. The second test, a Bond Work Index determination, results in a specific energy value (net Hp-hr/t) from an empirical formula.

It is well established in conventional ball mill grinding that the shape of the product size distribution curve depends primarily on the properties of the material being ground (Klimpel, 1998) and is generally similar (parallel) to the feed size distribution . This means that the particle size distribution (PSD) spread remains generally constant.

Union Process Attritor Mill. The attritor mill is a wet grinding attrition mill. It differs from conventional ball mills as it uses much smaller media with diameter less than 5mm, leading to greater media-material contact area. Additionally, the attritor mill works at a higher rotation speed up to SPEED.
