Similar to the ball mill work index, the rod mill work index is a tumbling test that includes both attrition and abrasion breakage mechanisms. Unlike the ball mill work index, the size of the feed to a rod mill test (10 mm–12 mm) is closer to the size of the crushing test. Plotting the database of …

work index covering grinding of fine particles is labelled M. ib (Morrell, 2008). M. ia. values are provided as a standard output from a SMC Test ® (Morrell, 2004. a) whilst M. ib. values can be determined using the data generated by a conventional Bond ball mill work index test (M. ib. is NOT the Bond ball work index). M. ic. and M. ih ...
The results showed that using the non-standard mills (between 20 and 35 cm in diameter), the Bond´s model constants (α=0.23; β= 0.82, and γ = 44.5), are …
The bulk density of a new or freshly culled (i.e., broken rods removed), graded rod charge is 390 lbs. per cubic foot (5.0 kg/m³) Due to lack of culling and the greater tendency for rods to break as mills increase in size, the estimated bulk density of the rod charge must be reduced accordingly (Rowland, 1982).
A modified equation has been proposed to calculate the Bond Ball Grinding Index (BWI), that considers the ratio of the MSL-14K mill net grinding power to the net grinding power of Bond ball mill.
The low energy crushing work index laboratory test is conducted on ore specimens larger than 50 mm, determining the crushing work index (Wi C, CWi or IWi (impact work index)). The rod mill work index laboratory test is conducted by grinding an ore sample prepared to 80% passing 12.7 mm (½ inch, the original test being developed in imperial ...
Description. GTEK XMB series rod ball mill is an efficient laboratory grinding equipment for wet grinding of ore or other materials.Steel balls can be used as grinding medium instead of steel rods. In rod grinding operation, particle sizes of final product are relatively uniform and ore overgrinding can be eliminated. Generally speaking, lab rod mill is commonly …
Section snippets Theoretical background. The classical methodology to determine W i(B) is based on the grinding kinetics in the Bond ball mill (Smith and Lee, 1998, Ahmadi and Shahsavari, 2009). This study's main calculations are based on Herbst and Fuerstenau, 1968, Herbst and Furstenau, 1973, Herbst and Rajamani, 1982 first …
The Bond rod mill grindability test is a widely used tool to estimate the response of ores to rod milling. However, the mass of ore required to conduct the test, which can typically vary from ...
The present paper deals with the grindability experimental results of an Australian bauxite sample in the Universal Hardgrove mill, the Universal Bond ball mill and the heat insulated Bond Rod Mill in the temperature range from 20 up to 80 °C. As previously observed the grindability of the bauxite has improved at elevated …
This means that the decrease in the energy consumption requested to grind the material down to 1.18 mm (closing screen of the Bond rod mill work index) is no longer noticeable with additional ...
The oldest theory given by Von Rittinger is suitable for 10–1000 μm fine grinding range, Kick's law suitable for crushing range above 1 cm in diameter and the Bond's theory is reasonably accurate in conventional rod-mill and ball-mill grinding (Hukki, 1962). Some researchers also tried to modify these theories to suit in modern grinding ...

Rod mills generate small amounts of fines, as fine particles typically accumulate in the space between rods without enduring comminution [2]. Effective grinding of this material occurs in the ball mill compartment, generating finer fragmentation. The Bond Rod Mill Work Index (BRMWI) test was only possible for Blend 5 (Table 2) due to excessive
