A Metallurgist or more correctly a Mineral Processing Engineer will often need to use these “common” Formulas & Equations for Process evaluation and calculations: Circulating
A crude display of how oxide content (copper) affects the overall recovery of any given ores. Below are flotation recovery responses of 5 different ores
The Bond Abrasion Test determines the Abrasion Index, which is used to determine steel media and liner wear in crushers, rod mills, and ball mills.
Here is an illustration of the typical relationship between the Mohs Mineral Hardness Scale and their corresponding Bond Abrasion Index. ref
What is the relationship between Abrasion Index affects Wear Rates of steel ball mill and rod mill liners as well as the wear life or
