SAG Mill Grinding Circuit Design Mineral Processing Metallurgy
Traditionally, many engineers approached SAG circuit design as a division of the total power between the SAG circuit and ballmill circuit, often at an arbitrary power split. If done without due consideration to ore characteristics, benchmarks against comparable operating circuits, and other aspects of detailed design (including steadystate tests, simulation, and experience), an arbitrary power split between circuits ignores the critical decision of determining the required unit power in ...
