Product size distribution function influence on interpolation
Differences up to 6,2% in the Bond ball mil work index can be observed due to different siz distribution in P 80 calculation.. 13 ores were tested using the Bond ball mill grindability test, obtaining P 80 using different interpolation functions. Rosin Rammler's model showed the best behavior, so its use must be not only suggested, but …
Bond´s work index estimation using non-standard ball mills
Ore concentrators seek the stability of processes by feeding blends of rocks with average hardness and ore content. Therefore, large amounts of samples must be characterized in a short time. The Bond Work Index (Wi) is a common technique for the estimation of hardness and energy requirement for comminution using ball mills. …
