Estimate ball size change efficiency gains (2 replies)
Please join and login to participate and leave a comment.
Hi,
If I calculated the grinding ball I need on this ball mill grinding circuit to be about 1/2 the diameter of the ball this mill is already using, is there a way to estimate the grinding efficiency gains I could expect of switching to that smaller grinding ball? I calculated the smaller grinding media will provide about 5X greater a grinding surface area. I hope there is a way to approximate what production improvements are ahead.
Thanks
