Over the years, ball mill circuits closed with cyclones have become an industry standard, and since the early days, it has been recognised that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit grinding ( its capacity to produce the desired final product).

In most sites a ball mill gets used for grinding, to produce fine particles, and a (hydro) cyclone gets used for classification, to separate the fine particles from larger particles. The main objectives when controlling the grinding circuit are to maximize the throughput and to decrease the variability of product size and % solids.
Key words: Material balance, ball mill, hydro cyclone, flotation. Preamble An important aspect of any mineral processing study is an analysis of how material is distributed whenever streams split and combine. This knowledge is necessary when a flow sheet is being designed
Hi I am trying to build up a library of papers on the function of a hydrocyclone in a closed ball mill circuit and not as a means 'of doing any grinding'. I am often faced with the question "We have a grind of 'A' micron in our ball mill circuits but wish the cyclones to cut finer achieve a fine
The cyclone overflow would allow a lot of this middling size to escape the grinding circuit. This would decrease the amount of material that the ball mill would have to grind. Which in turn would lower the amount of ground ore returned to the cyclone for reclassification. This again would lower the resulting ball mill load even further.
Ball Mill. For instance, a ball mill, which is a powderprocessing technique involving deformation, cold welding, fracturing, and rewelding of powder particles, is used for mechanical alloying. ... The finished product is trapped in a cyclone while the air is returned in the fan. Fig. Conical ball mill supplied by air separator, working ...
The mill operates in a closed circuit with screens that size the ore and send it back to the mill for further grinding. The product from the mill is then sent to a cyclone for separation of the desired material. SAG Mill Operation. SAG mills operate differently from ball mills, which rely on the impact of balls to break down the material.
Therefore, over the years closed ball mill cyclone circuits have become an industry standard. Although mill capacity increases with circulating load, an optimum circulating load of 250% was ...

The feed to the cyclone contains 36% solids by weight. It is found that 250 µm size in the rod mill discharge, ball mill discharge and cyclone feed is 27%, 5%, and 14% respectively. Determine the volumetric flow rate of feed (solid+ water) to the cyclone.
If the cyclone keeps returning ore to the ball mill, the total volume of ore will be increasing in the grinding circuit. As is the density of the slurry. The recirculating ore is also called the circulating load. If the grinding process becomes less efficient, the circuit load will climb until its volume is greater than can be handled. ...
A classifying cyclone is treating 150 gallons/min of slurry. A plant technician has measured the pulp densities of the process streams using a Marcy density gauge and reported the following: Ï f = gm/ml, Ï o = gm/ml and Ï u = gm/ml. Determine the volumetric flow rates to each stream. ... AMIT 135: Lesson 7 Ball Mills ...
10 effective factors for circulating load When increasing pumping energy and pump and cyclone maintenance costs are balanced against decreasing grinding energy and media costs, all as circulating load increases, the optimum economic circulating load can be identified, as it was at Kidd Creek (Table ). [4] The circulating load ratio was lowered from an average of approximately 450% to ...
Thank you dear DAVID. The last stages of vibrating screening is 12 mm D80=de to 10 mm measured by exploitation team The ball mill size added: 2/3 is of 100mm and 75 mm 1/3 Actually the initial work index changed and we tried to calculate the operational work index according to a followup of the parameters below but I don't have any conclusions according to this followup for an absorbed ...
hi guys. i am working at a small scale mining industry. they have been operating at about 80t/h feed to ball mill. the cyclones operates at about 85MPa feed pressure. 2 cyclones run at a time. however they don't maintain water balance .we all know that the principle is "the less the feed the less the water, but proportionally and vice versa". bu...
The cyclone underflow is directed to the ball mill for further grinding. Once the ore has passed through this mill it will be added back into the material that is being pumped to the cyclone for reclassification. The hydrocyclone product is the overflow, which of course is finely ground rock. It is this overflow which must be controlled.
measure CSE is a size distribution for the mill feed and discharge. For the typical reverse configuration ball mill circuit (Figure 1), this is achieved by taking a sample of cyclone underflow and a sample of ball mill discharge, and then running a screen analysis in the lab. For forward fed circuits ( primary ball milling), a
Plant parameters (most importantly mill feed rate, cyclone feed rate and flash cell operating variables) were recorded from the control system for the period of the survey. Samples were obtained for the following streams: • SAG mill discharge, • ball mill discharge, • cyclone feed, • cyclone overflow, • cyclone underflow, • flash ...
6 regarding cyclone applications, the feed microns) at a minimum of 40% solids by slurry being delivered to a cyclone should be weight. Underflow becomes ball mill feed. as steady as possible with regard to both Specific gravity of solids is and volumetric flow rate and slurry density. estimated circulating load is 225%.
conventional mill circuit shown in Figure 3. As an example of this concept, twostage screening of the ball mill cyclone underflow stream could be introduced as a way to scale up the experimental CGR results presented in the previous section of this paper. In this configuration, the minus 160 micron screen undersize,
the cyclone diameter. The cylindrical section is the next basic part of the cyclone and is located between the feed chamber and the conical section. It is the same diameter as the feed chamber and its function is to lengthen the cyclone and increase the retention time. For the basic cyclone, its length should be of the cyclone diameter.
Check the ball mill discharge chute and cyclone overflow and underflow launders for obstructions and debris. Check the plug valves in the mill discharge distribution box for correct open or closed position depending on which pumpbox compartment is to be used.
The original mill contained three completely independent grinding circuits, each containing one m diameter by m long fixed speed autogenous mill, one m diameter by m long ball mill and one m diameter shorthead cone crusher. Autogenous mill screen undersize combines with ball mill discharge in the cyclone feed sump.

The circulating loads generated in a typical ball mill cyclone circuit contain a small fraction of bypassed fines. The concept that high circulating loads will result in overgrinding can be refuted by regarding increases in circulating load in the same vein as multistage grinding. That is, for every incremental increase in circulating load of ...
