The autogenous or semi-autogenous breakage tests on lumps of feed material indicate that the fast-breaking process can be considered as first order with appropriate mean Bij values. It is assumed that the products of breakage appearing in size i have the same fraction 1 - O; of fast-breaking material as size i in the feed.

SAG mill liner development draws primarily on practical experience from SAG milling operations supported by computer-based modeling of charge motion in SAG mills and on established good design practice. Liner design needs to respond to the process aspects of mill liner action that are critical to good SAG mill performance, i.e., the impact …
When an ore is hard and competent, there is always the possibility that it would make good "pebbles" which could be used for fine grinding media. Different methods that have been tried using combinations of autogenous, semi-autogenous, pebble and/or ball mills. The flowsheets shown are typical of the properties listed …
The grinding circuit, represented i Figure 1, comprises a semi-autogenous (SAG) mill and a ball mill (BM). Both mills operate in close circuit with separate ydrocyclone clusters. Water is added independently to each mill as well as to each pump box for level control. The final product undergoes a gold leaching process.
SAG is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. SAG mills are autogenous mills that also use grinding balls like a ball mill. A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%. The largest SAG mill is 42' (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor. A SAG mill with a 44' (13.4m ...

Using the largest semi-autogenous grinding mill in China as a model, collision energy was analyzed on the basis of the multi-layer kinematics of the steel balls. First, the kinematic equation of ...
It can, therefore, be concluded that autogenous grinding was not suitable with this particular gold ore, but semi-autogenous operation with about 8% ball charge was the preferred option. Based on these test results, a 6.7 m diameter × 2.1 m length SAG mill and a 3.3 m × 6.1 m ball mill were installed for commercial operation in closed circuit ...
The wear and failure analysis of shell liners of a grinding mill is investigated. Metallurgical and tribological studies were conducted on the worn liner of a semi-autogenous grinding mill in Chadormalu Industrial Complex.
