Stirred media mills are used by the mining industry for ultrafine grinding to enhance
liberation, and to decrease particle sizes of industrial minerals to tailor functional properties …

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 …

Abstract Description of particle breakage embedded in a simulation using the discrete
element method (DEM) qualifies it to describe processes in which breakage is either desired …

Particle breakage occurs in comminution machines and, inadvertently, in other process
equipment during handling as well as in geotechnical applications. For nearly a century …

Understanding ore breakage is the key for the development of appropriate breakage
characterisation experiments. Hence, there has been significant effort to understand a single …

This paper explores development of a novel ore characterisation method for the precise
measurement of practical minimum comminution energy. A monolayer of particles with a …

Accurate characterisation of ore competence through controlled single particle impact can
enable improved modelling of comminution process response to ore variability. A simple …

The dynamics of milling circuits, particularly those involving Semi-Autogenous Grinding
(SAG) mills, are not adequately studied, despite their critical importance in mineral …

Improving comminution efficiencies with better machine geometries and motions, improved
nip angles, rock movement control, and voids regulation among rocks are some of the next …

The new practice of applying full pre-crushing of SAG mill feed to substantially increase
throughput is challenged as retrogressive and inefficient at a time the industry desperately …
