test. This isn't reported in a standard ball mill work index test, but the method of Levin, 1989, can be used to calculate a "Levin B value" which is the kW·h per revolution of a Bond laboratory ball mill. Dividing ball mill grindability (g of product/rev) by the Levin B (kWh/rev) gives the desired units of measurement (g/kWh).
JK Bond Ball Mill Test Since its introduction in the 1960s, the Bond Ball Mill Work Index (BBMWi) parameter has been extensively used in predicting ball mill power draw. Use of Work Index Along with comminution circuit design the work index parameter is widely used in tracking mill performance. Due to the age and lack of controls for the test,
mill due to differences in the many operating and design variables such as feed size distribution, mill dimensions, ball load, ball size, grate/pebble port size, trommel aperture and pebble crusher configuration. However, the SCSE is an effective tool to compare in a physically meaningful manner
• the bond ball mill work indices determinations gave reasonably reproducible results, • significant variation was observed in the measurement of the bond rod mill work index on at least one sample tested, and • large variations in abrasion index and crushing work index were due to variations in the test method across the laboratories.

a modified Bond ball mill procedure (Mod Bond) was developed by MinnovEX Technologies (now SGS) which requires 1.2kg of sample crushed at …
To represent the performance of the SAG mill circuit it was decided to use JK Tech's comminution simulator JKSimMet, whilst the power– -based equations of Bond were chosen for the ball mill circuit (Bond, 1961)T. he so-called variable rates model (Morrell and Morisson, 1996) was used to simulateSAG mill performance, model parameters being
This is because work index frequently changes as a function of the product size in comminution. If target grind size during a project is changed, or if the test is run at the wrong product size, then it is necessarily to provide a correction. The goal of this work is to create an equation to adjust a Bond ball mill work index from one P 80 basis
The Work Index is used when determining the size of the mill and grinding power required to produce the required ore throughput in a ball mill. 2. Procedure 2.1. Bond Ball Mill Grindability The sample was crushed to passing 6 mesh (3.35mm), from this a 700 cc volume was measured and weighed to be used as feed for the Bond Mill.
• Grindability as indicated by the bond ball mill work index (BWi) ranged from 10–35 kWh/t, with the majority between 15 and 27 kWh/t. No clear relationships in terms A*b and/or BWi was identified with geological aspects logged from the drill core such as weathering, lithology, alteration, alteration intensity, veining or combinations of these.

A Bond Ball Mill Work Index may also be used in the simulation and optimisation of existing mill(s) and the associated grinding circuit(s). Sample requirements: A minimum of 8 kg of material crushed to nominally minus 10 mm is preferred. JKTech would stage crush the sample to minus 3.35 mm, as required for the Bond Ball Mill Work Index test feed.

(See reference 8 below). The comparison of these results gives context to how the various measurements relate to each
Consequently, the Bond abrasion test, dating back to 1963, is still used to estimate total mill media wear. This is a purely empirical test based only on ore properties. A comparison of the wear/energy values resulting from the Bond abrasion test with actual mill data for five ores and 11 mills is shown in Figure 1. 0 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.1 0 ...
In the standard A-C closed circuit ball mill grindability test the work index is found from. where Pi is the opening in microns of the sieve mesh tested, and Gbp is the net grams of mesh undersize produced per revolution of the 12″ …
laboratory tests, typically Bond ball mill Work Index and SMC test® / JKDWT A*b (Bond, 1961; Morrell, 2004). Due to budgetary constraints, this has curtailed the collection of suffi cient number of BMWi or A*b measurements to allow the inherent variability to be adequately quantifi ed for direct
JKTech conducts regular quality control testing of the laboratories licensed to perform JK Drop Weight, SMC and JK Bond Ball Mill Tests to ensure that results are all within acceptable statistical limits. This means that clients can be confident that results are accurate whichever laboratory performs the testwork. Also, all results from these

Bond Ball/Rod Mill Work Index. Bond ball mill work index (BBMWI) test is a standard test used to measure the ball mill work, which is calculated in accordance with the procedure proposed by the Bond [21]. The BBMWI determines how much energy is needed to grind a sample of ore in a ball mill [22].
The Bond ball mill work index test has been used for ore hardness characterization for more than 80 years. Nevertheless, the test suffers from significant disadvantages when compared with other
