The model has demonstrated to be able to predict non-first-order rates of breakage of coarse particles in ball mills with good agreement with experiments. It has also been able to produce fair to good descriptions of breakage rates of particles in intermediate to finer size ranges, although it was not the original aim of the present work.
Ball mill is an energy-intensive device for grinding and breaking iron ore particles, which is extensively used in mineral, cement, chemical, and other industries. 1 –4 In the field of mineral processing, a portion of the energy is converted into heat that will raise the milling temperature and breakage characteristics of iron ore will be changed accordingly.

In ball milling the rates of breakage vary primarily with the size distribution of powder in the mill. Using an approximate solution to the batch-grinding equation, the acceleration and deceleration of breakage rates of all individual size classes are determined when the grinding environment is varied. Experimental results with limestone and copper ore show time-dependent breakage …

The grinding process of the ball mill is an essential operation in metallurgical concentration plants. Generally, the model of the process is established as a multivariable system characterized with strong coupling and time delay. In previous research, a two-input-two-output model was applied to describe the system, in which some key indicators of the process were …

In recent years, many researchers have demonstrated the use of population balance model for the optimization of energy consumption in grinding mills [22,23,24,25]. It has been proven that the parameters of the breakage rate (or selection function) S i and breakage function b i, j depend on several factors, e.g., ball size, mill speed, media ...

The cumulative rates model The cumulative rates model in [16] is a simple population balance model based on the assumption that only one function is necessary to describe grinding kinetics inside the mill, as illustrated in [7].
For conventional tumbling mills (rod, ball, and pebble mills), it has been found that models using a cumulative breakage rate function can easily be fitted to pilot or plant data and appear to be adequate for evaluating competing circuits ( Hinde and King, 1978, Finch and Ramirez-Castro, 1980, Laplante et al., 1987 ).

Therefore, the null hypothesis for the Eagle study was tracers do not move through the ball mill at the same rate as coarse particles. Coarse Particles Take Twice as Long. At Eagle, the ball milling circuit starts with a crushing plant and ends with a 12.7-mm screen. "The ball mill is 3.20 m diameter and 4.88 m long," the study said.

At grinding time less than 4 min, 3.00 and 4.00 cm ball sizes produce a limited size range with the feature that as ball size increases, the larger fragments do not break, resulting in larger values of k and λ, and indicating an inefficient ball-particle interaction. This situation could indicate that when using 3.00 and 4.00 cm grinding media ...
