Existing population balance size reduction models are extended to include two minerals with an arbitrary number of locked particle fractions. The validity of this approach to liberation modelling is demonstrated for the ball mill grinding of a copper ore in batch laboratory and continuous pilot plant mills. Keywords

Size Reduction: Primary, secondary and tertiary crushers. Magnetic Separation: Separates magnetic ore (pyrrhotite) from non-magnetic ore (copper and nickel concentrates). Froth Flotation: Non-magnetic ore is sent to a series of rougher and cleaner flotation cells to produce nickel concentrate. Drying: Thermal removal of liquid moisture .

Comminution is the reduction of solid materials from one average particle size to a smaller average particle size, by crushing, grinding, cutting, vibrating, or other processes. In geology, it occurs naturally during faulting in the upper part of the Earth's crust. In industry, it is an important unit operation in mineral processing, ceramics, electronics, and other fields, accomplished with

further reduced in size. Water is added to the ball mill, in which a slurry that usually contains from about 20 to 55 percent solids is produced (Singh, 2010; International Mining, 2011) (see fig. 2). The mill operates in a closed circuit with screens that size the ore and cyclones that sort the ore by size and density. The underflow from the

It is always attempted to reduce the costs of comminution in mineral processing plants. One of thedifficulties in size reduction section is not to be designed properly. The key factor to design size reductionunits such as crushers and grinding mills, is ore’s work index. The work index, wi, presents the oregrindability, and is used in Bond formula to calculate the required energy.

Figure 2 Ball mill at Boliden Aitik copper mine. An example of an industry-standard comminution circuit providing high throughputs can be seen in (Fig. 3). This circuit, however, has a high, specific energy consumption per ton of ore processed, driven primarily by the low efficiency of the ball mills and the need to use steel media for grinding.
