When the ceramic balls as grinding media are in the same 20% filling rate under the experimental calculation of the Bond Work index are much larger than the conventional steel balls after the grinding ...

The Bond work index, W i, is defined in a Bond ball mill on the samples of standard size −3.327 + 0 mm. In practice, it is possible to find materials of non-standard size that are finer than 3.327 mm. In this work, a procedure for the calculation of

The Bond work index can be estimated from the Hardgrove index using Equation (22): wi,H = 435 H 0.82 (22) The Hardgrove index is based on fine products for a given number of revolutions, and the Bond work index is based on the mass of a fine product multiplied by the number of revolutions of the mill.

The goal of this work is to create an equation to adjust a Bond ball mill work index from one P 80 basis to another. The proposed model consists of two components, the variable coefficient that is determined from a specific work index determination and a fixed exponent determined by a calibration procedure.

The Bond's standard ball mill is used to determine the work index value of differ ent samples. The Bond work index is defined as the kilowatt-hours per short ton required to break from infinite size to a product size of 80% passing 100 µm. If the breakage

technique for estimating the Bond Work index (BWi) was developed by Ahmadi and Shahsavari (2009) through the use of rst-order grinding kinetics, which was derived from the outcomes of two grinding cycle experiments [12]. Some scholars have put forth the idea of using smaller mills for determining the Bond Work index (BWi). The stud-

The work index (WI) is a method used to forecast the energy consumption in the ore comminution and make it possible to scale up. This work aims to present the methodology for determining the work index by the ball-mill test through Bond's theory in view of the dissemination of this analysis methodology for industrial processes.

The word Bond is synonymous with grinding circuit design, e.g. Bond Grindability and Bond Work Index. Fred Bond's work on circuit design occurred from the late 1930s to the mid 1960s and it changed the methodRead More ... It does not work well for devices such as the AG/SAG mill and high pressure grinding rolls where the product size ...

This Grindability Test or Bond Ball Mill Work Index Procedure is used to determine the Bond Work Index of minus six mesh or finer feed ore samples. These equation application methods are used to process <1/2″ ore samples in a Ball Mill using a standard ball charge.

The ball mill grindability test is used for describing ore hardness and it is so widespread that the Bond Work Index generated from the test is often referred to as an ore characteristic. The ore resistance to grinding and energy consumption can be expressed using the work index and Bond's Third Theory.

Results of 30 Bond Work index tests of six pure materials (calcite, magnesite, labradorite (feldspar), quartz, andalusite and glass) using closing screen apertures (P 1) values of 500, 250, 125, 90 and 63 μm are analysed. The samples were selected on the basis of having distinct hardness's (Mohs hardness 3 to 7.5), being relatively free of crystallographic defects …

Based on the standard procedure defined by Bond, the ball mill work index is determined by simulating a closed cycle dry grinding in a laboratory Bond ball mill until a stable circulating load of 250% is established (Bond, 1949, Bond, 1952, Bond, 1961). The ball mill work index is determined by Eq. (10).

The specification for the apparatus to determining a "Bond" rod mill work index is first described in Bond & Maxson (1943).
