Learn MoreThe long residence time of the gold within the grinding circuit can cause some of the GRG to become nongravity recoverable due to smearing on to grinding media, mill liners and gangue minerals. This effect is minor as more than 98% of the GRG entering the ball mill remains gravity recoverable after grinding (LaPlante, 2000).
Learn MoreThree types of mill design are common. The Overflow Discharge mill is best suited for fine grinding to 75 – 106 microns. The Diaphram or Grate Discharge mill keeps coarse particles within the mill for additional grinding and typically used for grinds to 150 – 250 microns.
Learn MoreIn primary mill circuit base metal operations, hydrocyclones should be set up to produce underflow densities in the range of 50-55% by volume. Producing dilute cyclone underflow densities can lead to over grinding in the mill, translating to pay metal (product) recovery losses in flotation.
