The density set point controls the tonnage feed rate to the autogenous mill. An optional control by autogenous mill power is also provided, In a successful attempt to gain a finer grind in the primary autogenous mill, a 100 ton charge of 1-½" diameter steel balls was added to the primary mills by one operator.
The aim also was to check if the results could lead to criteria by which the applicability of the autogenous grinding for different ore types could be determined. The pilot plant tests were run with a Canadian copper-nickel ore with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite as dominating sulphide minerals.

Adoption of autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding (AG/SAG) would lead to a significant simplification alternative to such plants. Within the scope of AG/SAG grinding, several approaches can be used in size reduction. For instance, the mill may be operated in the absence of steel grinding media (AG) or with steel balls (SAG) (Gupta …

There are basically three general types of autogenous grinding mills: a. Primary autogenous mills which process directly the total discharge of primary crushers (usually set at 6″ to 10″ open side setting). Under some circumstances and for certain types of ore, small ball charges (usually less than 5% …
In this study, the relationship between acoustic emissions and hardness of different rock types (model quartz, model calcite, and real iron ore) coupled with binary mix ratios of model quartz and iron ore (1:3, 1:1 and 3:1) was investigated in a laboratory-based AG/SAG mill.
At the concentration plant of the Gol-E-Gohar Iron Ore Company (Iran) three 9 m × 2.05 m AG (autogenous) mills (fixed speed) are used in parallel in a dry operation.The performance of AG mills has been lower than the target value indicated by an increase in the product size (P 80; 80% passing size) from 450 μm (target) to 515 μm …
Well-instrumented pilot-scale autogenous grinding circuits, ball and rod mill circuits, and crushing circuits are also available for testing and design purposes. In-plant audits allow modeling and simulation of existing plants to assist in optimization. Rotary scrubbers …
The ball mill is a rotating cylindrical vessel with grinding media inside, which is responsible for breaking the ore particles. Grinding media play an important role in the comminution of mineral ores in these mills. This work reviews the application of balls in mineral processing as a function of the materials used to manufacture them and the …

If the 30–80 mm pebble generated during autogenous grinding is used as the medium to crush the ore, the process is called pebble grinding. The density of pebble is less than that of steel ball, and its friction coefficient and contact area with the ground ore are greater than those of steel ball, so pebble grinding process has strong grinding force …
Mill Sizing: After laboratory and pilot plant testing confirm the feasibility of autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding, it can be used to establish the exact grinding circuit and mill size.In the pilot plant tests, the tare power of the pilot plant mills should be determined before and after each test run. The tare power should be for the empty mill.
In a previous paper (Morrell, 2008a) an approach was described which enabled the specific energy of tumbling mills such as AG,SAG and ball mills to be estimated from laboratory-derived ore characterisation data. The following paper extends this approach to encompass jaw, gyratory and cone crushers as well as High Pressure …
