Modelling SAG milling power and specific energy ... ScienceDirect
For a given mill to have a combination of feed size, ball load, mill speed and % solids will represent the total load. In fact the later can be modelled as a function of the others. Additionally, as has been shown by Powell et al. (2001), ball loads high enough (over 12% as in the cases studied in this work) contribute to a significant portion ...
