In modern mineral processing, semi-autogenous (SAG) mills are important grinding equipment. A SAG mill has the advantages of high operation rate, large output, and large crushing ratio, which makes SAG mills have the characteristics of short process time, low management cost, and suitability for large-scale production compared to other mills.

Optimisation of the control of an autogenous grinding circuit requires a bet­ ter understanding of system dynamics than exists at present. To this end ex­ tensive operating data were acquired on an industrial semi-autogenous mill­ ing circuit and a model was developed to explain the circuit responses to changes in input variables.

Semi-Autogenous Grinding mills can be optimized for maximum ore throughput or maximum grinding energy efficiency. In both cases, precise control of the mill weight is critical. Model predictive control provides an additional tool to improve the control oSemif -Autogenous Grindingmills and is often

optimisation of pulp lifters affects not only the energy efficiency and throughput of autogenous grinding/semi-autogenous (AG/SAG) grinding mills, but also contributes other process benefits such as improved wear life and operator-friendly steady and smooth mill operation.

Autogenous mills, or AG mills, can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening. Often used in grinding at modern mineral processing plants, AG mills reduce the material directly to the desired final size or prepare it for the following grinding stages.

Intermediate autogenous grinding can efficiently replace the rod mill and ball mill stage of a conventional grinding circuit. The need was shown for closed circuit operation of the last stage of crushing to control the top size of the mill feed. A reasonable rate ratio between media and total mill feed was established.

mill grinding rate over the material's grindability as measured in the lab. Mill percent solids optimization has thusly been achieved (McIvor et al., 2000). For media sizing, maximizing the mill grinding rate on a given ore is equivalent to maximizing the mill grinding efficiency. Ores of different grindability will be part of the discussion.
