A grindability study of cement clinker: drop weight testing

Cement clinker makes up for 95 percent of the material used to make cement. Clinker is a synthetic rock that is the result of the granulization of limestone (decalcinated into lime), fly ash or clay in a kiln reaching 1450°C. The clinker is combined with gypsum and ground to a very fine particle size of less than 45 mm. Hence size reduction is of vital importance in …

Bond Work Index Formula-Equation

 — In the standard A-C closed circuit ball mill grindability test the work index is found from. where Pi is the opening in microns of the sieve mesh tested, and Gbp is the net grams of mesh undersize produced per revolution of the 12″ x 12″ test ball mill. The closed circuit 80% passing size P averages P1/log 20 for all sizes larger than 150 mesh.

BOND'S WORK INDEX: WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT ISN'T

Bond's work index model of quantifying mineral grindability was born out of the desire for a better way of scaling up laboratory grindability test results to industrial-scale grinding mills (Lynch & Rowland, 2005). The Allis-Chalmers company (now ) collected a great deal of operating and laboratory data during the 1930s

Conduct and precision of bond grindability testing

 — One of the most important steps in conducting a locked-cycle test is deciding when the test is at steadystate. For Bond testing, test closure should include a maximum deviation from the highest and lowest Gpr (suggested value of 3%) and a reversaI in the rate of mill production during last three cycles (failure to reverse indicates instability).

Bond Work Index

Berry and Bruce (1966) developed a comparative method of determining the hardness of an ore. The method requires the use of a reference ore of known work index. The reference ore is ground for a certain time (T) in a laboratory tumbling mill and an identical weight of the test ore is then ground for the same time.Since the power input to the mill is constant …

The paper concludes that this test could be effectively used determineto and monitor the Bassanite (hemi-hydrate) contents. The test would assist in optimisation of grinding parameters at which the %Bassanite can be effectively controlled at desired levels through periodic monitoring by the Marsh cone flowability test, during cement grinding. 1.

Ore Grindability

 — Absolute grindability is the grindability value of the ore measured under the specified test method and test conditions. The two differ in test methods and the characterization methods. The common methods for absolute grindability characterization include unit productivity, Bond crushing work index, Thompson work index, grinding …

Standard Bond Ball Mill Grindability Test Method-Procedure

 — Here is the old Allis-Chalmers Bond Work Index Grindability Test Procedure. The standard feed is prepared by stage crushing to all passing a 6 mesh sieve, but finer feed can be used when necessary. It is screen analyzed and packed by shaking in a 1000-cc graduated cylinder, and the weight of 700 cc is placed in the mill and ground dry at …

Grindability

The Hardgrove Grindability test is commonly used to characterize the milling behavior of coals. The test, first conceived by Hardgrove (1931) and later modified to the current constant-weight test in 1951 (ASTM D409-71, 1971; ISO 5074, 1994c), attempts to mimic the operation of a continuous coal pulverizer using a batch process. ...

GRINDABILITY OF MATERIALS

As for gypsum which is known for its good grindability, a test exhibited n = 0.77 and H 114. The effect of hardness was. investigated by parallel tests with limestone (Mohs hardness 3-3.5) and rock salt (Mohs hardness 2). The hard limestone proved to be more easily grindable than the soft rock salt. ...
