Model predictive control of semiautogenous mills (sag)

Among the different grinding processes, Autogenous (AG) and Semi-Autogenous (SAG) mills are widely used for ore size reduction. The main difference between these two mills is the use of steel balls as grinding media, typically in the order of 6–12% in volume (Sbarbaro et al., 2005), in the SAG mills. With the addition of grinding …

Modelling SAG milling power and specific energy

In Fig. 3, Fig. 4 the data is presented in order to show the effect of the fresh feed size, particularly the % −6″ +1″ (−152 +25 mm), on the SAG mill power consumption (Pc) in kW and on the SAG mill specific energy consumption (Ecs) in kW h/t, obtained by dividing the power consumed (kW) by the fresh feed rate (t/h).

AG/SAG mill is inefficient in grinding particles of a certain size, typically in the range of 25-55 mm, i.e., pebbles. Therefore, cone crushers are often used as pebble crushers and integrated into AG/SAG mill circuits to break the critical size particles that accumulate in the mill and to increase the performance of the primary grinding circuits.
