Improved characterisation of ball milling energy requirements for HPGR ...
The implications for the equipment sizing of the downstream ball mills can be significant (Patzelt et al., 2006). Schönert (1988) estimated that replacing existing circuits with HPGRball mill circuits could increase circuit capacity by 1225%, and reduce energy by 1020%. However, for this to be achieved the HPGR must produce at least 10% ...
