There are three types of grinding media that are commonly used in ball mills: • steel and other metal balls; • metal cylindrical bodies called cylpebs; • ceramic balls with regular or high density. Steel and other metal balls are the most frequently used grinding media with sizes of the balls ranging from 10 to 150 mm in diameter [30].

1. Introduction. The term chemical additives or grinding aids (GAs) refers to any substance which results in increased grinding efficiency and reduction in power consumption when added to the mill charge (amounts not exceeding wt.% of the feed) during grinding [1], [2], [3].The use of grinding aids to increase mill throughput is quite common in the cement industry [2], [4], [5].

In the first survey the ball mill was underperforming due to the low density in the mill, which was rectified in the second survey. The ball mill was grinding to a P 80 of 50 to 70 µm, therefore the traditional marker size (75 µm) was not applicable, and this can be seen by the increase in SSE for coarser sizes as the marker size approached P ...

The energy consumption of the total grinding plant can be reduced by 2030 % for cement clinker and 3040 % for other raw materials. The overall grinding circuit efficiency and stability are improved. The maintenance cost of the ball mill is reduced as the lifetime of grinding media and partition grates is extended.

Cast Iron Grinding Media Cast iron can be grey or white, but white cast irons are commonly used in abrasive wear applications in the comminution process. Cast iron grinding media are one of the ancient media, which were first used in mineral processing and can be grouped into cast lowchrome and highchrome white iron [17].

Wet rod milling showed the best efficiency and capacity with only 25 pounds of ore in the mill; 39 pounds were required to fill the interstices. Batch grinding was like opencircuit grinding when the amounts of media, ore, and water in the mill were the same. The types of grind, capacities, efficiencies, and powers were the same.
