Iron ore must be shipped in bulk for maximum economy. 1.2 Pretreatment process In this process, the iron ore is ground into fines having qualities required for the subsequent balling process. The pretreatment includes concentrating, dewatering, grinding, drying and prewetting. In general, low-grade iron ore is ground into fines

The mill discharge passes through a wet magnetic separator for further upgrading and also rejection of additional non-magnetic tailing. The ball mill and magnetic cleaner and cyclone all in closed circuit produce an iron enriched magnetic product 85 to 90% minus 325 mesh which is usually the case on finely disseminated taconites.

Recognize important considerations in ball mill selection. Reading & Lecture. In ball mills, steel balls or hard pebbles to break particle based on impact and attrition. A rotating mill charged with media and ore is lifted against the inside perimeter. Some of the media falls and impacts the ore particles at the bottom of the mill.

8.3.2.2 Ball mills. The ball mill is a tumbling mill that uses steel balls as the grinding media. The length of the cylindrical shell is usually 1–1.5 times the shell diameter ( Figure 8.11). The feed can be dry, with less than 3% moisture to minimize ball coating, or slurry containing 20–40% water by weight.
Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol.-% ore and 25% steel. The ball mill is operated in closed circuit with a particle-size measurement device and size-control cyclones.
Tumble mills are used in cement, mining and chemical industries. These mills are hollow cylinders of large diameters used to grind the iron ore, minerals and rock. The grinding media to be ground is mixed with iron balls or rods and fed into the mill from one side. As the mill rotates at low speed the grinding media is ground into very
An effect of a grinding method, that is ball mill and high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR), on the particle size, specific surface area and particle shape of an iron ore concentrate was studied. The particle size distribution was meticulously examined by sieve, laser and image analyses. To measure the specific surface area of particles, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Blaine methods were used
ore treated was very difficult to mill. In the first two days, the mill experienced numerous power dips (overloads), and on at least seven occasions the feed to the mill had to be completely stopped to grind the mill out. Also, the mill load varied in the range of 125 to 165 tons. These disturbances propagated throughout the milling circuit and

Inside the ball mill, the crushed iron ore will grind the ore to about 0.2 mm with 3-inch steel balls. 3.This iron ore slurry is pumped to the agitation tank. This iron ore slurry is finally pumped to the flotation machine with the fine sulfide ore (~-0.074 mm) going to froth flotation cells for recovery of iron.

ball mills are also in closed circuit with classification systems such as cyclones. An alternative to crushing is to feed some coarse ores directly to wet or dry semiautogenous or autogenous grinding mills (using larger pieces of the ore to grind/mill the smaller pieces), then to pebble or ball mills. Ideally, the liberated particles of iron
