The other materials were categorized as medium grindable materials. Limestone had an average grindability index k VTI 0.090 = 1.60, which was close to the threshold for easily grindable materials. For feldspar, an average value of k VTI 0.090 = 1.24 was found, while for quartz, an average value of k VTI 0.090 = 1.03 was calculated.

This article deals with the development of an alternative method for determining the grindability index of fine-grained materials. This method is inspired by the commercially used VTI method (also known as RTI after the Russian Thermal Energy Institute), which was widely used in Central and Eastern Europe in coal grinding. The disadvantage of the …

The starting point selected for the new grindability test was the Bond ball mill grindability test (Fig. 2). The test is a locked cycle test which simulates a closed continuous comminution circuit (Fig. 2). The test starts with 0.7 l sample, corresponding to 3.4 kg FAR (iron ore sample), and the test is repeated until steady state is reached ...

The quartz and feldspar samples having Mohs hardness indices of 7 and 6, respectively, are much harder than the kaolin sample having a hardness index of 3. The chemical analyses of these materials are given in Table 1. ... Feed size distributions of the Bond grindability test materials and the test results are given in Fig. 1 and Table 2 ...

The results obtained show that weight retained varies from 36.71 g to 183.1 g for granite while that of iron‐ore vary from 9.65 g to 87.78 g. In addition, it was observed that granite and iron‐ore have grindability values of 0.061 g/rev and 0.926 g/rev respectively.

The new grindability testing methods were applied successfully in several industrial research tasks for the determination of the specific grinding energy and the Bond work index. The methods can ...

He did the Bond's grindability, rockwell hardness, abrasion, compressive strength and modulus of elasticity tests on bauxite, kaolinite, granodiorite, magnetite, granite, feldspar and quartz samples of Saudi Arabia and found the following correlation of BWI with mechanical properties with correlation coefficient of 0.75, 0.80, 0.81 and 0.90 ...

The Bond grindability testing procedure has been standardized to obtain the same grindability values, i.e., Bond work index (BWi), on the same ore when tests are performed in different ...

The Bond work index is not solely a material constant but is influenced by the grinding conditions. For example, the finer the grind size desired, the higher is the kWh/t required to grind to that size. Magdalinovic [38] measured the Bond work index of three ore types using different test screen sizes. He produced a correlation between the mass of test …

The ball mill grindability test is used for describing ore hardness and it is so widespread that the Bond Work Index generated from the test is often referred to as an ore characteristic. The ore resistance to grinding and energy consumption can be expressed using the work index and Bond's Third Theory. The Bond Third Theory method is widely ...
