Apr 01, 2014 Tangsathitkulchai hypothesised that for an overfilled mill (see Fig. 1), a pool of slurry (1) forms at the base of the ball mill charge.A fraction of the ball mass (2) is submerged in the slurry. This fraction works against the stationary suspension of slurry causing a liquid drag on the interstitial particles

In the mill grinding chamber the addition of slurry was found to lower the charge shoulder and toe positions due to drag forces on the media, as well as produce a large slurry pool above the toe

Jul 29, 2019 The data included information on ball filling, slurry hold-up, mill speed, mill internal volume, shoulder, and toe angles of the media charge, as well as slurry pool angle. Initial results showed that the proposed empirical model fitted well the data not only from the three mills but also from an independent source

predicted. Slurry pooling causes the power draw in AG and SAG mills to be lower than a mill without a slurry pool. This phenomenon results in overflow mills usually drawing less power than grate discharge mills that are operating without a slurry pool. This is because by definition overflow mills operate all of the time with a slurry pool

Shape for Grate Mills (no slurry pool) Shape for Overflow Mills . 2. Model Structure . 2.1 General . As per Morrell’s original model structure the grinding media part of the charge (rocks and/or , ball) is configured as per Figure 3. When a mill is in operation the slurry portion of the charge occupies the grinding media interstices

Of course all the ball mills operate in slurry pooling conditions but with low ball charge it will be larger than before so it will affect the P80 (Ball mill Product 80 % passing not circuit product) badly and it will increase. He had mentioned adding water to classifier underflow; this work will reduce slurry density

there has been a shift of emphasis on ball mill optimization to semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills. In order to optimize this section, the skills to accurately model and understand its underlying mechanisms are required. The literature exposed a clear lack of previous research on the influence and performance ... FIGURE 2 SLURRY POOLING

Mar 21, 2007 The mill discharge from these mills consists of slurry, which goes to the ball mills for further grinding, and coarse pebbles/rocks, which are crushed and sent back to the mill. To maximize the capacity of these circuits, the general practice is to use grates with pebble ports (reaching 100 mm) instead of normal grate openings to increase the

material in the mill including the media which may be steel balls in a ball mill, or large lumps of ore in an autogenous mill or a mixture in a semi-autogenous mill, as well as the slurry that makes up the operating charge. Let Jt be the fraction of the mill volume that is occupied by the total charge, Jb the fraction of the mill volume that

Discharge of pebbles, finer rock, ball scats and slurry from mills and its flow through trommels, and into other processing operations has strong impacts on overflow ball mill performance

Maximized slurry transport and minimized slurry pooling. The OED Mill has been designed to maximize slurry transport and minimize slurry pooling. This increases throughput capacity and improves grinding efficiency due to increased impact energy. Slurry pooling minimization in the OED Mill is facilitated by a novel grate-supporting spider
