Abstract
A laboratory-controlled milling process of silica sand was carried out using aluminum oxide balls of three different sizes. The ball wear kinetic equations were experimentally obtained from the evolution curves of the ball diameter as a function of the operating time. From a generalized model, the ball entrance flux and ball wear consumption were calculated using exact two-parameter solution functions. One-parameter ball entrance flux and ball wear consumption functions were proposed to perform calculations that accurately describe the values provided by the two-parameter functions. In addition, a compact form of the ball mass distribution function is found. This set of simplified equations can be suitable for fast calculations in the milling industry.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the journal is to provide for the rapid publication of topical papers featuring the latest developments in the allied fields of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Its wide ranging coverage of research and practical (operating) topics includes physical separation methods, such as comminution, flotation concentration and dewatering, chemical methods such as bio-, hydro-, and electro-metallurgy, analytical techniques, process control, simulation and instrumentation, and mineralogical aspects of processing. Environmental issues, particularly those pertaining to sustainable development, will also be strongly covered.
