Conduct and precision of bond grindability testing☆

The ball mill grindability test is used for describing ore hardness and it is so widespread that the Bond Work Index generated from the test is often referred to as an ore characteristic. The ore resistance to grinding and energy consumption can be expressed using the work index and Bond's Third Theory. The Bond Third Theory method is widely ...
