The most commonly used ball mill model structure is that based on the population balance approach [2]. This very versatile model has at least one major drawback in
A tracer pulse is injected at the mill inlet and the concentration of the tracer is measured at the mill outlet. Although the RTD data clearly indicate that finite axial back-mixing takes places in many continuous open-circuit mills [18,23–25], many researchers assumed idealized mixing regimes, i.e., perfect mixing [26–29] or plug flow …
Morrell et al. (1993) found the appearance functions generated for the Perfect Mixing ball mill model were too fine for stirred mills. They recommended either generating new appearance functions at one-tenth of the standard breakage test input energy level, or using the Kelsall breakage function.

The perfect mixing model or PMM [13] is a popular model due to its simplicity and successful applications to different grinding mills [14], [15]. The PMM assumes perfect mixing within a grinding machine and a discharge function for the particles in the mill load. The perfect mixing assumption eliminates the need for tracer …

The model employs an ore-specific and size-dependent breakage function, whose parameters are independently measured with a fine particle breakage characterisation device, the JKFBC. This has effectively overcome the limitation of using a default breakage appearance function for all ores in the perfect mixing ball mill model.
The perfect mixing grinding approach. Perfect mixing is an approximation which is often used for ball mills with a small diameter to length ratio [5], [17], [18], for high-speed hammer mills [19], [20] and air jet mills. The perfect mixing mill model does avoid the problem of residence times in the mill.

The RTD was modelled by the Large and Small Tanks in Series (LSTS) model, which allowed the characterization of the different mixing regimes for both liquid and solids in the regrinding mills.
An index is proposed to identify departure from perfect mixing in a mill. • No breakage in ball mills from particle-particle and particle-liner collisions. • A fraction of collisions in the mills did not involve particles. • This fraction was described through the ratio of surface areas of balls and particles. •
Perfect mixing model was used by Benzer (2004) in modelling of an air-swept raw meal grinding ball mill by considering the single compartment mill as three perfectly mixed tanks whereas air-sweeping through the mill was modelled by a classifier at the mill discharge. In the model, tank-1 corresponded to the mill length where lifting …

The perfect mixing model, normally used to simulate ball mills, was used to compare the direct and reverse circuit configurations. The simulations were based on the appearance function determined from the laboratory tests using a batch tube mill.
Also, perfect mixer, N-Mixer, and Weller models were studied to describe the RTD curves. It was found that the mixing condition inside the ball mill was very far from the perfect mixing circumstance. While, N-perfect mixer in series (N-Mixer model) showed better results compared to the large and small tanks in series (Weller model).
