Sulfide sulfur oxidation through the autoclave is typically of the order of 90—92%. Residual S exiting the autoclave is targeted at less than 0.2%. Values greater than 0.25% S" typically result in poorer gold recoveries in the C1L circuit. Free-acid levels in the autoclave discharge are a function of S2 and CO2- in the autoclave feed, but ...

If the SAG mill is not intended to be the rate-limiting step in a process plant, then it is best to adjust the SAG load (and power) to hold a constant tonnage to satisfy another constraint elsewhere. Underground mines are an example: the hoisting capacity of the mine shaft is the rate-limiting step in the process, and the SAG mill must adapt to ...

Simulations indicated that a capacity increase of 12% would be achieved in the existing grinding circuit by further crushing 35% of SAG mill fresh feed. Such figures would represent yearly additions of 8.3 kt in …

Started by Steve. We recently converted our 18X11 steel lined Rodmill to rubber lined trommel discharge Ballmill to improve grinding efficiency and increase throughput. Our rodmill used to run 120 tons/hr at a critical speed of 61.5% with rods diameter of 3". ...

The SAGDesign test was developed by the SAGDesign Consulting Group (Starkey, Hindstrom & Nadasdy, 2006) and consists of a batch grinding test conducted in a 0.488m diameter SAG mill. About 10kg of drill core is required for testing. The feed is prepared to 80% passing 19mm and ground to 80% passing 1.7mm.

The Fimiston SAG mill circuit was designed by Orway Mineral Consultants and Fluor Daniel Wright Ltd. Pilot plant test work in a 6' x 2' mill was used to determine circuit configuration, power re- quirements and to assess feed sensitivity to ore hardness and feed size variation. Details of the relevant design specifications are given in Table 1.

Partial secondary crushing of the mill feed is reported for example at Mt Rawdon in Queensland (Putland et al., 2004), Porgera (Thong et al., 2006) and St Ives in Western Australia (Atasoy et al ...

Upgrading low grade gold ore stockpiles. Sensor-based automatic ore sorting technologies are used in the minerals industries to efficiently remove waste and sub-marginal grade material from crushed and screened run of mine (ROM) ore, producing a coarse (typically >10 mm) upgraded pre-concentrate at an early stage in the mineral processing circuit.

The crushed ore produced will be separated by size to separate fine ore, from the coarse ones which will be fed back to SAG Mill for regrinding. The fine ore, will be sent to further milling, so that they are ideal for the leaching process. The ore, which is in slurry form, will be contacted with cyanide solution to dissolve its gold content.

Semiautogenous-single stage. These circuits are not a good choice for many orebodies because it is not logical to expect one machine to be as efficient on 150 mm ore as it is on 100 micron ore. Semi-autogenous plus ball mill has been the "work horse" of mills. SAG vs Ball Mill Advantages . AG & SAG Mill Grinding Compared – Which is Best
