Energy Use of Fine Grinding in Mineral Processing
Fine grinding, to P80 sizes as low as 7 μm, is becoming increasingly important as mines treat ores with smaller liberation sizes. This grinding is typically done using stirred mills such as the Isamill or Stirred Media Detritor. While fine grinding consumes less energy than primary grinding, it can still account for a substantial part of a …

Introduction to Mineral Processing or Beneficiation
Many older operations have rod mills in combination with ball mills. Ball mills are a similar shape to that of the rod mills except that they are shorter with length to diameter ratios of 1 to 1.5. As the name implies, the grinding media in these mills are steel balls. The particles size of the feed usually does not exceed 2.5 cm.
Enhanced sulfidization flotation of cuprite by surface modification
This decreases the required dose of sulfurizing reagent and greatly enhances the hydrophobicity of the minerals to improve the flotation recovery [16,17]. Cuprite is an important copper oxide mineral for copper extraction. Because of a lack of oxygen in the mineralization process, copper is not oxidized sufficiently and forms cuprous minerals.
