Selection of Comminution Circuits for Improved Efficiency
In addition, the size distribution and grinding circuit chemistry may impact on the performance of the downstream circuit (Lane, 1999 and Rantanen, 1996). Fully autogenous circuits are attractive due to the elimination of steel media costs. Typically, a SAG mill based circuit (P80 of 106 to 150 um) has media costs of around A1/t.
