Study on Grinding by a Double-Sphericity Abnormity Media

Abstract:

A double-sphericity abnormity media as grinding media was presented, and the grinding laws of cassiterite-polymetallic sulfide ore by the abnormity media and single ball media with different combinations were discussed in this paper. The results show that when adopting the abnormity media to replace its mother balls for grinding, the mother ball size is smaller, the grinding effect is better, and adding the abnormity media was helpful to decrease overgrinding. And for cassiterite grinding process, the desirable results could be achieved by using small size abnormity media to replace large single ball media.
