| Abstract Scope |
Grinding of bauxite as feed to alumina refineries is undertaken in a variety of grinding circuit types utilizing a range of mill types such as Rod, Rod/Ball and Ball Mills both in open circuit and closed circuit systems. This paper considers the selection criteria in terms of the objectives of the grinding process and reviews the range of options available particularly those used in recent installations. The advantages and disadvantages of these options are discussed. Important evaluation criteria such as product size distribution, specific power consumption and costs are considered, summarised and compared with the design objectives. |
