Mt Carlton is an open pit mining operation with ore processed using a primary crusher, single stage SAG mill and flotation to produce a concentrate for sale. Orway Mineral Consultants (OMC) was involved in the original design of the comminution circuit and the project was commissioned in late 2012, with first concentrate shipped in March 2013.

Comminution conundrum B ig crushers, like big mills, are becoming more popular. FFE Minerals is supplying a crushing plant that will be one of the largest installations of its kind in the world. It will deliver eight Excel 820 kW cone crushers for Fortescue Mining's Pilbara iron ore and infrastructure project at the Cloud Break mine.

and simulate a fullscale iron ore processing plant to determine methods for increasing grinding circuit energy efficiency by minimizing overgrinding. Executive Summary The goal of this project is to use comminution modeling to study methods for optimizing the product size distribution, so that the amount of excessively fine material produced can

characteristics of the taken sample were assessed by which comminution circuit would be designed much better. Keywords: iron ore, chadormalu, work index, comminution properties, selection function, energy efficiency. 1. Introduction Work index It has been 50 years since Bond published his theory of comminution [1], and well over 100

The appliion of High Pressure Grinding Roll (HPGR) in comminution circuits is well established in processing cement, diamonds and iron ore. Recently, the appliion of HPGR has been extended to hightonnage precious and base metals operations with hard ore. This is due to the HPGR: being more energyefficient than grinding mills, not requiring steel grinding media, .

 · Comprehensive ore characterization work on both composite and variability samples is key in determining the right comminution circuit design. In hard rock appliions the designer may favor a design that incorporates more crushing upstream of an HPGR circuit for energy efficiency.

 · Such a circuit can counteract the effects of harder ore, coarser ore, decrease the size of SAG mill required, or rectify poor throughput due to an undersized SAG circuit. Notably, harder ore often presents itself to the SAG circuit as coarser than softer ore—less comminution is produced in blasting and primary crushing, and therefore the impact on SAG throughput is .

The report analyses mine energy use from over 40 published studies, centred on five commodities – copper, gold, iron ore, nickel and lithium. For these five metals, it finds comminution – the crushing and grinding of rocks – alone accounts for 25% of final energy consumption at an 'average' mine site.

 · The new team, led by JKMRC Senior Research Fellow Dr Cathy Evans, has expertise across the mining value chain, with strengths in comminution and mineral processing, CEEC said. Dr Evans' specialty is in understanding how ores respond in mineral processing circuits based on the behaviour of minerals in breakage, liberation and separation processes.
