Ore medium crushing is a process of crushing ore blocks with a feeding particle size of 125–400 mm to 50–100 mm. The maximum crushing ratio of medium crushing is about four. The force in the process of ore crushing is mainly crushing and impacting. The main equipment suitable for medium crushing operations is a jaw …
Not all refractory gold ores give a large recovery improvement after fine milling. Gold locked in arsenopyrite for example does not achieve the same gold recovery as gold disseminated in pyrite due to the smaller gold particle size of the locked gold (Figure 5). Figure 5.

The grinding of ore is a highly energyintensive process [1–4]. In this process, the size of the particle obtained depends on the energy consumption of the ball mill. The major challenge encountered in the process of iron ore grinding is to maintain the desired product particle size distribution (PSD) with sufficient liberation of valuable ...
While grade is generally correlated to gold particle size and abundance in the sample, the relationship between sample grade and the surrounding ore is complex [19,20]. High grades (>15 g/t Au) often relate to abundant coarse gold and/or clustered gold particles which, by virtue of their high-grade, may be straightforward to sample.
Mineral particle size can only be measured under a microscope from the cross section of the ore. Particle size of mineral in ore is an important factor to determine mineral liberation, and is also the main basis for selecting process parameters for ore crushing and grinding operations. Optical microscope is used to observe the thin sections of ...

The fineness of the ore is closely related to the recovery rate. The optimal fineness varies for pool leaching, flotation, and carbon slurry. The degree of oxidation and the size of the gold also determine the fineness variation. In conclusion, different ores have different optimal processing methods.

With the continual depletion of high grade simple ore bodies, more complex, finely disseminated ore bodies are being processed, which has led to an increase in the prevalence of fine grinding (Sinnott et al., 2006).This has been evident in the platinum group element (PGE) industry in South Africa, where …
