Physical Bauxite Processing: Crushing and Grinding of Bauxite
3.1 Introduction to Crushing and Grinding of Bauxite. The most common initial process step to feed an alumina refinery with bauxite is the crushing or sizing of the raw bauxite material that is extracted from the mine. The feed material is crushed or sized so that it is conveyable, as well as correctly dimensioned, for the next step in the process.Web

How Ball Mill Ore Feed Size Affects Tonnage & Capacity
Hard ore Work Index 16 = 100,000/65,000 = 1.54 kwh/t. For the purposes of this example, we will hypothesize that the the crushing index of the hard ore with the increased energy input of 1.54 kw/t reduces the ball mill feed size to 6,500 micrometers. As a result, the mill output will increase with this reduced size to approximately 77,000 tons ...Web
