This difference is ascribed to the presence of a pool of sl urry that is present on the bottom ... autogenous mill or a mixture in a semi-autogenous mill, as well as the slurry that makes up the operating charge.

SAG mill and pooling and slurry transport was identified as the main cause of loss of throughput. In addition, it was known that existing mills experienced large pooling and there was an opportunity to rectify these issues with this new concept. Alcoa chose to proceed with design and development of the twin

Modern Semi-Autogenous (SAG) Grinding Mills can be up to 12 metres in diameter (absorbing up to 20 MW of power) and need to discharge over 2500 tonnes per hour of solids via pulp lifters. Pulp lifters take the form of a radial array of "box-section" channels mounted inside the discharge end wall of the mill.

Study of slurry flow from SAG/AG mills for slurry pool or slurry flow back issues for mill throughput improvement. Study of slurry flow from grates to improve the grate wear life. We simulate and study the material trajectories to determine charge motion inside the mill to improve material grind quality, liner life and throughput.

MetSMART is powerful simulation software that can mass balance, model fit and simulate the behaviour of any ore body within a grinding & flotation plant. Simulate your whole plant from crushing through to flotation in ONE FLOWSHEET. MetSMART can be used for a mix of studies, eg. detailed engineering, commissioning, pre-operations and operations ...

The tests covered a range of slurry filling from 0 to 2 with five different balls filling between 12% and 36% of mill volume and six different speeds between 60% and 85% of critical speed. The results delineate that the increase in the mill speed leads to a remarkable increase in the amount and frequency of the impact forces.

Grindability measurements of survey samples are are given as Bond ball mill work index is reported as 17.53 kWht 106 m closing screen, assume P 80 75 m, 16.52 kWht 212 m closing screen, assume P 80 155 m.

Water is added to the SAG mill to produce a slurry and the ore feed size is reduced as it traverses the SAG mill. Related to SAG mill Production company means a person or entity engaged in the business of making motion picture, television, or radio images for theatrical, commercial, advertising, or education purposes.

Once a SAG mill has begun to overload, ore will rapidly accumulate until the charge level reaches the center of the mill and slurry spills out of the feed and discharge chutes. 9th International Symposium on Advanced Control of Chemical Processes June 7-10, 2015.

Slurry pooling causes the power draw in AG and SAG mills to be lower than a mill without a slurry pool. This phenomenon results in overflow mills usually drawing less power than grate discharge mills that are operating without a slurry pool. This is because by definition overflow mills operate all of the time with a slurry pool.

fineness, it was determined that the SAG mill was not discharging the slurry and pebbles efficiently. 1.2 SAG mill is a grinding device as well as a pump ... But the level of pooling was not to the levels of traditional mill overloads. Slurry pooling causes a reduction in …

Abstract The slurry level in AG/SAG and ball mills has an influence on their power draw, which in some instances can be profound. This is particularly the case with so-called slurry pooling in AG/SAG … Expand

Slurry pooling, excessive accumulation of slurry in the mill, and the associated loss of throughput and grind, are well recognised on lowaspect, single-stage SAG mills. However, it is becoming apparent that a wide range of the high aspect mills also suffer from pooling issues.

Large Grinding Mills Lower OPEX. Outotec launched a grinding mill with an open-ended discharge, the OED Mill. This large high-capacity grinding mills offer reductions in both CAPEX and OPEX. Instead of using pulp lifters, the OED Mill discharges material directly through the grates. It uses a novel grate-supporting spider to maximize slurry ...

Mill grind out In order to measure the ball load in the mill, the feed to the mill was stopped and it was ground out to a ball charge only. As a result of slurry pooling in the mill, the surface of the charge could unfortunately not be inspected, and the 9.7% ball level was measured relative to the slurry, 398mm below it.

SAG mill slurry pooling model to predict the onset and effect of slurry pooling for varying operating conditions ; Grinding mill trajectory model to determine safe operating speed ranges based on liner/lifter design; In this paper, a case study is presented benchmarking actual plant data against Ausgrind model predictions, validating the ...

As SAG mill sizes continue to increase in both length and diameter, the required volumetric removal rate increases faster than the cross sectional area of the mill. Hence rate of slurry removal can become a throughput constraint for large mills as a pool of slurry will accumulate in the mill (Nicoli et al., 2001, Cleary et al., 2006). However ...

The major modifications were the addition of two 24 x 40 foot ball mills that will permit the SAG mill to be run in open circuit. This circuit design reduces the risk of high volumes of slurry going through the SAG mill, by eliminating the circulating load …
