Batch grinding studies by a ball mill for hematite ore ...
In the present study hematite ore of hardness 5.5–6.5, specific gravity 5.26 has been subjected to grinding tests in a ball mill. The experiments were conducted at three feed sizes (i. e., −10 + 8 mm, −8 + 5.6 mm, −5.6 + 4.7 mm) and three ball sizes (i.e. 1 inch, ½ inch, ¼ inch). As the grinding time increases, specific surface and ...
