Abstract. In the present study, the effect of not so much discussed milling parameters such as vial to plate spinning rate, ball size distribution and type of balls on the performance (energy) of the high energy has been investigated for the first time. Furthermore, different scenarios that lead to an increase in the BPR such as the powder ...
A few experimental studies (Erdem and Ergun, 2009, Cayirli, 2018) have considered the impact of ball size distribution (BSD) on the evolution of PSD during milling. For example, using a laboratory batch ball mill, Cayirli (2018) found that an increase in the mass fraction of smaller balls yields a finer product with higher SSA.
A laboratory scale planetary ball mill ( Retsch PM400) was equipped with a test rig which enables the observation and recording of the grinding ball motion inside the grinding chamber. A high speed camera was fixed on the sun wheel (Fig. 1). Lighting is supplied by several LEDs and spotlights, respectively. The camera is oriented in a way that ...
With ballmill grinding being one of the most energyconsuming techniques, setting the optimal values of the operational and mineralogical parameters for efficient grinding is a key target in mineral processing plants [6,7,8,9,10]. Ball size is one of the key factors of ballmill efficiency [11,12], and may have a significant financial impact .

size ball mill was used with ball media of sizes 10 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm respectively. Quartz was the material used to perform the experiment and was arranged into 3 monosizes namely 8 mm + mm, 4 mm + mm and2 mm + mm for the experiment. A mill run having a mixture of the 3 ball diameter sizes was also conducted. It was
The results showed that at a constant mill filling, the power draw was changed with changing the ball size distribution and for all mill fillings the maximum power draw occurred when the fraction ...
• characteristics of the grinding media (mass, density, ball size distribution); • speed of rotation of the mill; • slurry density in case of wet grinding operation. Quantitative estimations of these parameters can be found in [4, 5, 23]. An important characteristic of an industrial ball mill is its production capacity
Additional experiments were conducted with the feed comprised of the material with size below mm. The ball top size that was used in the tests was 30 mm, with a seasoned charge, mimicking the industrial ball size distribution, with a minimum size of mm, as shown in Table 2. The solids percentage in the slurry varied from 72 to 80% ...

In the case of ball mills, the axial dispersion is higher and the mean residence time is shorter than those in rod mills. In rod mills, the axial dispersion is lower—close to plug flow ( Lynch, 1977 )—as well as selective breakage (compared with ball mills) produce a narrower size distribution product than that of ball mills.

grinding. Ball size distribution inside an industrial mill was analysed in terms of shapes and sizes. Load behaviour, mill power and breakage as affected by media shapes were studied in a pilot laboratory mill. An inductive proximity probe, light emitting diode, phototransistor and video photographs were used to determine the
Producing a broader size distribution of ground particles is one of the main drawbacks of dry grinding compared to the wet technique [21, 38, 40, 41]. It is documented that the median particle size of the product in grinding using a dry ball mill had been approximately four times coarser compared to products produced in wet grinding .

To assess the effects of the mill operating parameters such as mill speed, ball filling, slurry concentration and slurry filling on grinding process and size distribution of mill product, it was endeavored to build a pilot model with smaller size than the mill. For this aim, a pilot mill with 1m × was implemented.
After implementation of the new ball size distribution the energy consumption decrease was recorded as 17 per cent. The new ball size distribution did not change the power draw of the mill, but the mills production capacity was increased from 115tph to 150tph at the same quality figures. The energy consumption fell from kWh/t to kWh/t.
