Bond's work index model of quantifying mineral grindability was born out of the desire for a better way of scaling up laboratory grindability test results to industrial-scale grinding mills (Lynch & Rowland, 2005). The Allis-Chalmers company (now ) collected a great deal of operating and laboratory data during the 1930s

In Hardgrove test, grindability index is determined when a constant crushing pressure (29 kg) is applied over some constant weight of coal (50 gm) to grind it in unit time, and undersized material (below 74 μm) is weighed to calculate the index. Therefore, high-moisture coals with less density and higher volume will get more …

Although established in the 1950s, the grindability test according to Zeisel is still one of the most important measurement techniques for the grindability of hard and brittle material. It is used intensively throughout the cement industry for testing clinker and slag, but also for limestone. ...

Bond in 1952/1961 is widely used worldwide. 4.1.1 Machinery required: - Mill diameter 305 mm (12") and length 305 mm (12") with rounded corners and a smooth internal lining.

Grindability is generally gaged by ease of grinding. This means the material rapidly grinds to the desired accuracy of form and dimension with low wheel wear and grinding injury to the material. Over the years, several methods of defining and measuring grindability have evolved. Two of the more common methods of measurement are …

In the standard A-C closed circuit ball mill grindability test the work index is found from. where Pi is the opening in microns of the sieve mesh tested, and Gbp is the net grams of mesh undersize produced per revolution of the 12″ x 12″ test ball mill. The closed circuit 80% passing size P averages P1/log 20 for all sizes larger than 150 mesh.

hy a single value. Therefore the grindability cannot be charaterized as a dif­ ference or quotient of two numbers. In industrial practice, however, as a convention according to Lehmann and Haese (1955) grindability is defined as the relation of specific surface increase (cm2/g, determined using the Blaine test) to energy expense (Jig of kWh/g).

This study shows the results of a variability analysis (a 33 factorial design) performed to elucidate the influence on wi of several parameters obtained from the …

The standard Bond grindability test is a closed-cycle dry grinding and screening process, which is carried out until steady state conditions are obtained. This test was proposed by Bond and Maxson (1943) and used by different researcher (Yap et al. 1982, Austin and Brame 1983; Magdalinovic 1989). The material to be tested is reduceds to minus 3 ...

This paper presents results of investigations of torrefied biomass grindability using a modified Hardgrove test, with the volumetric sample approach and with the test sample wider particle size range of 0.2-1.18 mm. The HGI sample standard particle size range of 0.6-1.18 mm can be insufficient for biomass samples due to the inhomogeneous ...

The Bond Ball Mill Grindability Test is a locked-cycle laboratory grinding test. It provides the Bond Ball Mill Work Index which expresses the resistance of a material to ball milling. This Index is widely used in the mineral industry for comparing the resistance of different materials to ball milling, for estimating the energy required for grinding, and for ball mill …

The SAGDesign test was developed by the SAGDesign Consulting Group (Starkey, Hindstrom & Nadasdy, 2006) and consists of a batch grinding test conducted in a 0.488m diameter SAG mill. About 10kg of drill core is required for testing. The feed is prepared to 80% passing 19mm and ground to 80% passing 1.7mm.

It is divided into a standard drop weight test and an abrasion test. The results can be used to characterize the grindability of ore under impact and abrasion [ 17, 18 ]. Five groups of samples of −63 + 53 mm, −45 + 37.5 mm, −31.5 + 26.5 mm, −22.4 + 19 mm, and −16 + 13.2 mm were subjected to three specific crushing energy ( E cs ...

Results of leach testing, flotation testing, grindability, etc. are incomplete and what does exist may not be communicated to geologists. Data are rich but almost entirely geological. ... Sphalerite can range from pure ZnS to a ZnS-FeS mixture with nearly 50% Fe substituting for Zn. A rock with 10% sphalerite can therefore have a Zn grade …

The Bond grindability test is performed in a standard Bond ball mill, dimensions DxL=305x305 mm and a speed revolution of 70 min −1. The mill is filled with balls with a diameter of 15.5 to 30.6 mm, and has a total weight of 20.125 kg. This test uses dry grinding in a closed cycle until a stable circulating load of 250% is established.

The paper will benefit if authors provide in the end of introduction section a paragraph or two underlining an importance of the topic and reasons for this review.

Hardgrove grindability is a measure of the relative ease with which a coal sample can be pulverized or ground to smaller sizes. All mined coals need to be ground to very small sizes (often powder size) before being utilized. For example, most steam coals (used to generate electricity) are ground to 60 mesh (250 microns), which is …

Subtract the tare mass to obtain the mass of the + 75- µm ( + No. 200) material. Weigh the catch pan and its contents. Subtract the tare mass to obtain the mass of the − 75-µm (−No. 200) material. If the sum of these weights differs by more than 0.50 g from the initial weight of 50 6 0.01 g, reject the test and repeat.

The three tests are: The Bond ball mill work index (Wi BM, or BWi) conducted from a feed size of approximately 2 mm to a product size on the order of 100 µm. The Bond crushing (impact) work index (Wi C, CWi, LEIT or IWi) conducted on specimens of a nominal dimension between 50 mm and 75 mm. The product size is not relevant to …

Differences in grindability in this process are reflected only through differences in the size of the grinding product P80. The advantages of this procedure are the use of an ordinary laboratory mill with balls and a smaller mass and sample size than the standard Bond test. A small amount of time is needed to perform the test and calculate the ...
