Work Index

From a practical point of view, the work index is divided into ball milling work index (the short form of Bond ball milling work index), rod milling work index, and crushing work index. The corresponding methods of test and determination with a small amount of ore samples in the laboratory are put forward, too. These test methods …

Secrets of the Bond Ball mill grindability test

feed size distribution is different to a standard Bond ball mill work index test. A series of 10 samples for an Andean copper project were treated to both the SAGDesign (and Sd_bwi) test and the standard Bond ball mill work index test with 180 µm closing screens. The SAGDesign results (with the non-standard ball mill feed) are given in Table 1.

Procedure for determination of ball Bond work index in the …

The Bond ball mill grindability test is run in a laboratory until a circulating load of 250% is developed. It provides the Bond Ball Mill Work Index which expresses the resistance of material to ball milling. This happens after 7-10 grinding cycles, which shows that the procedure is a lengthy and complex one and is therefore susceptible to procedural errors.
