The 15% lower media consumption in Mill II is certainly significant because media costs usually are in the range of 1520% of total direct mill costs. The results at Cyprus Pima over the four year period from 1974 to 1977 show that total steel, consumption was 13% less using a semiautogenousball mill circuit versus a conventional crushingrod millball mill circuit.

In this paper, Autogenous grinding method explored for coal to study the effect on liberation of coal and it was observed that, autogenous grinding helps in improving the liberation of minerals. Experiments also revealed that, the autogenous grinding produces clean coal fines with low ash percentage(% ash clean coal from % ash feed coals) directly without washing.

Largediameter autogenous and semiautogenous grinding mills represent the primary thrust of the expanding grinding technology. In spite of initial difficulties, large autogenous and semiautogenous mills have reached an acceptable level of technology that provides the mineral engineer with a reliable, low cost means of ore comminution.

Among the different grinding processes, Autogenous (AG) and SemiAutogenous (SAG) mills are widely used for ore size reduction. The main difference between these two mills is the use of steel balls as grinding media, typically in the order of 612% in volume (Sbarbaro et al., 2005), in the SAG mills. With the addition of grinding media, the ...

A semiautogenous grinding mill is simulated with an extremum seeking controller to maximize the performance of the mill using grind curves. Grind curves map the essential performance measures of a grinding mill to the manipulable variables. The curves vary with the changes in the feed ore characteristic but show generic parabolic features with ...

b) Semi autogenous grinding in which the pebble fraction of mill discharge (+½ in.) is taken out through pebble ports for separate crushing and ball milling. The minus ½ in. fraction of mill discharge is recycled to the SAG mill through a classifier. The circuit is called SACB: Semi autogenous/ Crusher/Ball mill.

The rotation speed of a mill is an important factor related to its operation and grinding efficiency. Analysis and regulation of the optimal speed under different working conditions can effectively reduce energy loss, improve productivity, and extend the service life of the equipment. However, the relationship between the optimal speed and different operating parameters has not received much ...

Autogenous grinding mills use larger rocks to impact and break smaller rocks as the mill rotates. Semiautogenous mills are basically the same autogenous mills, but with the addition of balls, similar to those in ball mills. Semiautogenous mills have larger diametertolength ratios compared to ball mills. Common applications for semi ...

All autogenous (AG) and semiautogenous (SAG) mills use steel or rubber grates to hold back the grinding media, whilst allowing the product slurry to flow through and out of the mill. The total open area, size, shape and position of the holes varies considerably from installation to installation (NapierMunn et al., 1996), as given in Table 1.

Over the years the design and operation of single stage autogenous and semi autogenous grinding mills has been a rather hit and miss affair, with some great successes and some dismal failures, with the majority of installation somewhere between. Yet the simplicity, low capital and seemingly simple operation make this a circuit of choice for many.
