It was found that grinding media had a different effect on pyrite flotation at pH and At pH, both iron contamination originating from grinding media and xanthate oxidation played an important role in pyrite flotation. While iron contamination on the pyrite surface depressed pyrite flotation, it might be reduced by xanthate oxidation.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377As can be seen, the product size of the AG mill increases by increasing the ore hardness. Pourghahramani (2012) studied the effect of ore hardness on the product size of the SAG mill in Sungon copper complex, . He observed that hard ore grinding in the SAG mill resulted in more fine products compared to the soft ore milling.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Particle shape affects the resistance to shear of a granular material and its flow characteristics. Rocks in a SemiAutogenous Grinding (SAG) mill range in shape from quite rounded to quite angular depending on how long they have been in the mill and whether they have undergone body breakage recently due to collisions within the mill.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Sinnott et al. (2011) have considered the importance of media shape on grinding performance in stirred mills. In these mills, the grinding media and charge in a chamber are mobilized by a rotating internal agitator. It is generally accepted that highly nonspherical debris from balls which break or spall due to manufacturing defects reduce ball ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The semiautogenous (SAG) mill grinds materials with steel balls as the grinding media, and is the main grinding equipment in industrial production. Liners are equipped in the internal of the SAG mills, which have the function of protecting the barrel and adjusting the trajectory of the medium.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill is widely used in the grinding process of coal and ores because of its strong applicability, large capacity and low consumption of grinding media. Therefore, the research of SAG mill is still of great important practical significance. Among those parameters of the SAG mill, the filling level is very important ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Based on SAG7 test results, the lack of circulating load in such a scenario showed virtually no effect on the SAG circuit performance. Conversely, the combined effect between excessive impact provided by greater ball charge (12%) and increased mill speed (75%) was deleterious to the mill performance, as shown in the SAG11 test.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Cataracting or impact grinding is more pronounced in AG/SAG grinding mill, where the charge materials are elevated by the lifter to a height until the gravitational force of the charge reaches equilibrium, hence falling to the toe angle of the mill (Owen and Cleary, 2015). In such a process, the charge assumes a parabolic geometry or trajectory.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377When the SAG mill runs, ore particles entering the drum from one end of the drum are impacted, ground, and crushed from impacts of autogenous grinding media (mainly including steel balls), ore particles, and drum, and then discharged from the other end of the drum.
