The simulation of circuit regrind requirements
Abstract
Traditional methods for design of middlings regrind circuits require lengthy and tedious experimental programmes. The “split factor” model proposed herein, a population balance model, attempts to describe the regrinding of gravity concentrator middlings from primary grinding density distribution data. The model provides an optimal start point for a final locked cycle test. This considerably reduces the quantity of experimentation required for regrind design.
