Standard Bond ball mill grindability tests and calibrated Mod Bonds, using a closing screen of 270 mesh (53 microns), classified most samples as medium to moderately hard and averaged 15.3 kWh/t (Mod Bond only). The SPT locked-cycle high pressure indices (HPi) ranged from 14.6 kWh/t to 18.4 kWh/t averaging 16.4 kWh/t.

The Bond ball mill work index value of the samples ranged between 13.2 and 15.1 kWh/tonne. Based on these values, the George and Umwelt UG composites are considered to be moderately soft, while the Umwelt Pit, Llama and Goose Lake samples are of average hardness. The samples contained between 5.0 and 8.9 g/tonne gold. Silver was also

Correction of Bond Ball Mill Work Index Test for Closing Mesh Sizes It is commonly known that one must run the Bond ball mill work index test such you pick a closing mesh to give a P80 close to desired grind size.

• The Bond Ball Mill Grindability Test determines the Bond Ball Mill Work Index used to determine net power requirements when sizing ball mills. The test is a closed-circuit, dry grindability test. It is run in a standard ball mill and can be performed at mesh sizes ranging from 48 mesh to 400 mesh. Bond Ball Mill Work Index (and modified ...

Over the years, alternative procedures to the Bond grindability test have been proposed aiming to avoid the need for the standard mill or to reduce and simplify the grinding procedure. Some of them use the standard mill, while others are based on a non-standard mill or computation techniques. Therefore, papers targeting to propose a better alternative claim to …

that is used has come from a Bond ball mill work index test that has generated a similar value to that input to the "Tumbling mill circuit product P80- final grind" field. If this is not the case the resultant specific energy prediction accurate might be compromised.

Here is the old Allis-Chalmers Bond Work Index Grindability Test Procedure. The standard feed is prepared by stage crushing to all passing a 6 mesh sieve, but finer feed can be used when necessary. It is screen analyzed and packed by shaking in a 1000-cc graduated cylinder, and the weight of 700 cc is placed in the mill and ground dry at 250 ...

The work index expresses the resistance of the material to grinding. It represents the kilowatt hours per tonne required to reduce the material from theoretically infinite feed size to 80 passing 100μm (Wills and Napierpercent -Munn, 2006). Bond devised several methods for predicting ball-mill and rod-mill energy requirements and

Kinetic grinding test approach to estimate the ball mill work index 343 The W i parameter is obtained from Bond's ball mill grindability test (Bond, 1961). This test is performed according to the standard Bond procedure which proposed model is presented in Eq. 1. This standard grindability test simulates a closed-cycle

Determination of the energy consumption for ore grinding in a Bond ball mill requires samples of standard size, because changes in the size of the samples cause the change of the Bond work index (Magdalinovic et al., 2012). Due to the Bond test complexity and length, as well as the possibility to make mistakes during

The test work program was carried out on those five ore samples obtained from the copper-porphyry orebodies. Total of 38 Bond work index tests, including duplicates, were done. Standard Bond ball mill test procedure were carried out on crushed (-3.35 mm / 6 mesh) material at different

274 Gamal S. Abdel Haffez Figure 1: Uniaxial compression test machine 3- STANDARD BOND TESTS The Bond's standard ball mill is used to determine the work index value of different samples. The Bond work index is defined as the kilowatt-hours per short ton required to break from infinite size to a product size of 80% passing 100 µm.

of the Bond ball mill work index test was needed if the industry was to improve upon current practice. John, an experienced pilot plant manager and feasibility engineer, experimented with a bench scale SAG test protocol. He brought his findings to the attention of MinnovEX Technologies Inc. in 1994 and the Starkey SAG test evolved

The Bond Ball Mill Grindability Test (Bond, 1952, 1961) gives the Bond Ball Mill Work Index. This Index expresses the resistance of a material to ball milling; the higher the value of the Bond Ball Mill Work Index, the more difficult it is to grind the material using a ball mill. This Index is widely used in the mineral industry for:

This grindability test is conducted in a. Bond ball mill of Φ D / L = 0.3048/0.3048 m dimensions at the speed of 70 rpm. The. mill is loaded with 21.125 kg standard sized balls and 700 cm 3 …

test using ball-race test mill was performed. Knowing the Hardgrove indices, the Bond work indices of some samples were estimated using the Aplan's formula. The approximate work indices were determined by running a batch dry-grinding test using a laboratory ball mill. Finally, the work indices obtained from both methods were compared.

Drop Weight Index (DWi) and the coarse ore grinding index (M ia). Test data from the Bond ball mill work index test is used to calculate the fine grinding index (M ib). The M ia and M ib indices are used to calculate specific energy for the coarse (W a) and fine (W b) components of the total grinding specific energy at the pinion (W

The Work Index is used when determining the size of the mill and grinding power required to produce the required ore throughput in a ball mill. 2. Procedure 2.1. Bond Ball Mill Grindability The sample was crushed to passing 6 mesh (3.35mm), from this a 700 cc volume was measured and weighed to be used as feed for the Bond Mill.

should be noted that in the Bond standard approach, the ball milling work index has the largest influence. For a P 80 of 100 µm, the ball milling work index accounts for approximately 70% of the weighting in the Bond standard calculation (GMG, 2015), with the rod mill taking 25% and the crushing work index 5%.

The Bond ball mill grindability test is run in a laboratory until a circulating load of 250% is developed. It provides the Bond Ball Mill Work Index which expresses the resistance of …

For P80s finer than 75 μm, the Levin test, a modified Bond ball mill work index test, may be used to predict grinding performance. Signature Plots. No general work index formula governing energy use over a range of conditions, like the Bond equation for intermediate grinding, has yet been found for the fine grinding regime.
