Prior to testing for autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding, it is important to have an understanding of the specific energy requirements for crushing and grinding as well as mineralogy. The Bond Work Index is the generally accepted parameter for gauging specific energy requirements in conventional crushing and grinding.
† These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Energy consumption represents a significant operating expense in the mining and minerals industry. Grinding accounts for more than half of the mining sector's total energy usage, where the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) circuits are one of the main components. …
Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills are extensively used in the grinding circuit of mining plants. Precise prediction of SAG mill throughput can result in significant economic benefits, as it can be utilized for better parameter settings to achieve higher throughputs. ... where work index is determined through Bond grindability test, which is ...
This paper reviews current testing methods for sizing autogenous and semiautogenous mills in the North American context with comments on the necessity for test work and requirements for different circuits and equipment selection. The economics of testing and the value received are discussed.
Though this section is specific to autogenous and semi-autogenous mills, many of the concepts are general and apply to any form of comminution. ... Pebble milling is a type of …
The treatment by Austin et al. was the most detailed with respect to a description of the various types of breakage action in a mill because it attempted to apply several of the relations for breakage in ball 0032-5910/86/$3.50 mills to breakage in semi-autogenous mills. Since their work was reported, improved relations have been found …
From the development of a semi-autogenous grinding model based on effective grinding rates and internal classification presented during the nineties (Magne et al., 1995) the state of the art of ...
Other articles where autogenous mill is discussed: mineral processing: Grinding: Autogenous mills operate without grinding bodies; instead, the coarser part of the ore simply grinds itself and the smaller fractions. To semiautogenous mills (which have become widespread), 5 to 10 percent grinding bodies (usually metal spheres) are added.
The aim of the work was to create a stable FEM model of the wet semi-autogenous grinding process and to quantify the efficiency of processing copper–nickel ores under given conditions.
1 Introduction. In mining, a Semi-Autogenous Grinding mill (SAG) is the equipment used at mineral processing plants in the size reduction process, making the ore suitable for the next stage of flotation. Its use lies in significant processing and reduction capability offered by this kind of mill, where maximize the operational continuity and ...

SAG mill liner development draws primarily on practical experience from SAG milling operations supported by computer-based modeling of charge motion in SAG mills and on established good design practice. Liner design needs to respond to the process aspects of mill liner action that are critical to good SAG mill performance, i.e., the impact …
The grinding circuit, represented i Figure 1, comprises a semi-autogenous (SAG) mill and a ball mill (BM). Both mills operate in close circuit with separate ydrocyclone clusters. Water is added independently to each mill as well as to each pump box for level control. The final product undergoes a gold leaching process.
It can, therefore, be concluded that autogenous grinding was not suitable with this particular gold ore, but semi-autogenous operation with about 8% ball charge …
A semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill is dependent on rotation to carry the grinding media around the mill for minerals impact and attrition, as presented in Figure 1.It is an energy-intensive unit operation and requires extremely wasteful equipment in terms of energy utilization and consumption.
An autogenous mill of ID 6.7 m and an effective grinding length of 2.1 m was fed with ore of SG 3.8 to 20% of its volume. The mill was operated continuously 24 hours per day at …

For conventional ball milling, the Operational Work Index can be related to the Bond Work Index by the introduction of "efficiency factors" as described by Rowland. To date, the authors have been unable to draw a corresponding relationship between Bond Work Index and Operational Bond Work Index for semi-autogenous grinding plants.

AG MILL (autogenous grinder) or SAG MILL (semi-autogenous grinder), also known as No media mill,, which works principle same as ball mill, the difference is even greater its cylinder diameter, without a ball or any other grinding media, the use of the cylinder body is pulverized material itself as a medium in the cylinder body continuously ...
There are few methods of semi-autogenous (SAG) mill power prediction in the full-scale without using long experiments. In this work, the effects of different operating parameters such as feed moisture, mass flowrate, mill load cell mass, SAG mill solid percentage, inlet and outlet water to the SAG mill and work index are studied. A total …
