The best way to optimize the grinding circuit to achieve economic plant operation is by simulation, using proven mathematical modeling techniques. Simulation is a valuable tool in process technology if the process models are accurate and if model parameters can be determined in a laboratory or plant.

In other words, the two existing parallel ball mills would be converted to an operation in series. Simulation 6 was based on the changes included in Simulation 5. Simulation 6 results showed 1050 t/h circuit throughput, yielding 0.213 mm and 0.138 mm P 80 values respectively at first and second ball milling stage discharges.
Ball mills are extensively used in the size reduction process of different ores and minerals. The fill level inside a ball mill is a crucial parameter which needs to be monitored regularly for optimal operation of the ball mill. In this paper, a vibration monitoring-based method is proposed and tested for estimating the fill level inside a laboratory-scale ball mill. A vibration signal is

The grinding operation in a ball mill is widely used in comminution. This process is extremely capital and energy intensive process and at the same time it is notoriously inefficient. Therefore, simulation can be used as a convenient tool in studying the behaviour and performance of grinding circuits by facilitating the evaluation of various scenarios and identification of optimum operating
The disadvantages of ball mills include their considerable metal consumption and deterioration grinding media, as well as a lot of noise. Most of the energy useless lost during ball mill operation, leading to low it efficiency. But even a significant specific energy consumption for grinding material compensates beneficial effect by using mill.

However, as by definition no existing plant is available for calibration in greenfield scenarios, the use of simulation in ball mill circuit design has been limited. Running a pilot ball mill circuit can overcome this problem but this requires a reasonably large sample and therefore can be costly. In addition a valid scale-up procedure is required.
