A good grinding circuit survey (and flotation circuit sampling) is only as good as the sample cutter used for each slurry stream. Correct sampler volume and opening size insures your sample is representative of the concentrator stream you are testing. Here is a good suggested design with opening dimensions. You need to add the …

Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial. The flowsheet in this study illustrates a typical 3,000 ton per day operation. In general most operations of this type have two or more …

By recovering 15% of the feed mass on a small Falcon C1000 (30t/h) and treating only 12% of the cyclone underflow, one can easily recover over 80% of the gold by using continuous Falcon gravity units in the grinding circuit. Typically a batch type concentrator would be treating greater than 20% of the cyclone ...

The size in micrometers that 80% of the weight of the feed and product passes, F80 and P80, were kept constant for each grinding simulation at 1200 and 175 micrometers respectively.
Read MoreThe function of the grinding mill is to reduce the particle size of the ore such that the valuable mineral constituent is exposed and can be recovered in the subsequent flotation operation. For effective concentration or subsequent mineral liberation, grinding circuits have to provide stable particle size distributions.
