By Anthony Konya | June 14, 2021. Pit & Quarry 's "Overcoming Oversize" series will discuss the generation of oversize in the blasting process and techniques to reduce or eliminate oversize. Next month's article will discuss oversize as a result of insufficient bench dimensions and how to optimize stiffness ratio for a reduction in ...

At the highest speed the outer layer of discs tends to stick to the wall, showing a tendency to centrifuge. The effect of mill speed on energy input was studied in a mill of 0.3-m diameter and 0.25-m long with 40% charge filling. The total charge weight was 54 kg. The variation in torque with speed is shown in Figure 5.

The measured RQD values were 64% and 90%. Therefore, the blasting, crushing and grinding of three groups of rock type were simulated in this study, as presented in Table 2. Not all blast designs were simulated for all the rock types because medium and soft rocks do not require the high-intensity blast.

Fig. 2 illustrates the iron ore beneficiation process, particularly magnetic separation, resulting in the generation of inevitable tailings. Due to the characteristics of iron ores and the conditions during beneficiation, it is inevitable that approximately 2.5–3 tons of IOTs are generated for every 1 ton of iron ore concentrate produced [7].In 2019, the …

The critical speed of a ball mill can affect the performance and product quality of the mill. If the speed is too slow, the grinding balls will not be lifted and will not effectively grind the material. On the other hand, if the speed is too fast, the grinding balls will be thrown against the outer wall of the mill, resulting in ineffective ...
