A Bond Ball Mill, 12" x 12" of fabricated construction comes with electric motor and gear reducer drive, digital counter, jogging button to provide positioning of drum for loading and unloading, emergency stop button, 44 ½ lb ball charge, stand and receiving pan. Perform Fred C. Bond's grindability tests with this standard BWI test ball mill.
Bond work index analysis takes this method of experimentation several steps further. During comparative testwork, variations in the ore grindability, grinding energy input, and feed and product sizing are measured and accounted for through the grinding circuit "model" embodied in the work index formulation. ...

1.. IntroductionA Bond Ball Mill Work Index test is a standard test for determining the ball mill work index of a sample of ore. It was developed by Fred Bond in 1952 and modified in 1961 (JKMRC CO., 2006).This index is widely used in the mineral industry for comparing the resistance of different materials to ball milling, for estimating …
The new laboratory ball mill with classifier set-up, shown in Fig. 1, was specially fabricated for conducting experiments in the laboratory.It has a length of 2 m, a diameter of 1.5 m and is fitted with a newly designed discharge end with six shell lifters, as shown in Fig. 2 a and b and Fig. 3 a and b. The feed end of the rotating drum has an …
The sample was received crushed appropriately for the ball mill test. Ball Mill Grindability Test was conducted by standard practice using 100-mesh (150 pm) closing screens. The ball mill work index is shown below. BM Wi (kW-hr/st) = 17.97 ; BM Wi (kW-hr/mt) = 19.81; Bond Ball Mill
Table 3 shows the comparative values obtained between the standard Bond ball mill and the Nematollahi mill. Menéndez-Aguado et al. [17] examined the possibility of determining the work index in a Denver laboratory batch ball mill (Figure 1) with the same inner diameter as the Bond ball standard mill.

Ball mills and operation conditions Fig. 2(a-d) shows the ball mills used in the determination of the Work Index (standard mill BBM and non-standard mills BM-1 to BM-3, all ball mills without lifters). Bond standard ball mill (Fig 2(a); BBM) has a total volume of 22284 cm 3, is fed with 700 cm of ore and 1638 cm of steel balls. This
Several previous studies have focused on predicting mill throughput. Some literature deals with extracting empirical equations for mill throughput. They are mostly inspired by Bond's equation for calculating the specific energy of grinding mills (W) as below (Bond, 1961): (1) W = W i × (10 P 80-10 F 80)
The effect of ball load composition, by varying the grinding media size distribution (e.g. alternatively by mixing four groups of 19.5, 38 mm; 19.5, 50 mm; 38, 50 mm and 19.5, 38, 50 mm), on the ...

The computation of a Bond ball mill work index was empirically calibrated by Fred Bond using a short ton basis. The modern (metric tonne) basis is the following equation: Derived values composed from Wi BM results. Morrell Mib value is calculated for a sample if the following are available: umClosing, F80, P80, gpr.
The Bond Ball Mill Grindability test is designed to give a measure of the grinding characteristics of a material by finding the amount of size reduction resulting from a controlled energy input. Ball Mill Grindability of a material depends upon its hardness, structure, the manner in which it is fractured. The grindability is useful in evaluating …

Introduction. The Bond grindability test for determining the Bond work index, W i, is conducted in a Bond ball mill having the dimensions D × L = 305 × 305 mm and a speed revolution of 70 min − 1.The mill is loaded with balls from 15.5 up to 30.6 mm in diameter, having thus a total mass of 20.125 kg.. This test simulates a closed circuit of …
Standard Bond tests showed a reduction in the Bond ball mill work index (wi) of the mineral sample used in this study when using Relo grinding media. The modified Bond test procedure is based on using the standard Bond ball work index test but changing the circulating loads (350%, 250%, 150%, ).
Over the years, alternative procedures to the Bond grindability test have been proposed aiming to avoid the need for the standard mill or to reduce and simplify the grinding procedure. Some of them use the standard mill, while others are based on a non-standard mill or computation techniques. Therefore, papers targeting to propose a …
