The considered ROM ore milling circuit is a closed one-stage circuit, comprising a semi-autogenous mill as shown in Fig. 2.It is assumed to process ore at approximately 100 t/h and to produce a product of which approximately 80% passes 75 μ m.The mill discharges slurry into a sump via an end-discharge grate.

Gold-bearing ore is fed to the milling circuit at about 100 t/h. The ore is ground down to product with a particle size of 80% smaller than 75 μm ( P80 = 75 μm). A hydrocyclone is used in closed circuit with the mill to separate the product from the out-of-specification material. The gold is then extracted through a leaching process downstream.

A third ball mill takes a split of feed from each module to assist maintaining a target product size. Both modules are fed from the same primary crushing circuit via a Coarse Ore Stockpile (COS) which provides surge capacity. The grinding circuit is designed to produce a product size suitable for the downstream froth flotation process.

ore treated was very difficult to mill. In the first two days, the mill experienced numerous power dips (overloads), and on at least seven occasions the feed to the mill had to be completely stopped to grind the mill out. Also, the mill load varied in the range of 125 to 165 tons. These disturbances propagated throughout the milling circuit and ...

Therefore to leach the gold out of the ore and into solution, cyanide, and oxygen must be added to the slurry. Lime is added to the grinding circuit to modify the pH of the slurry to prevent the formation of deadly hydrogen cyanide gas. Cyanide is added in liquid form to the tanks and lime is added to the ore prior to milling.

in a SAG and Ball mill circuit where there is no scope for storage capacity between milling stages and throughput is normally limited by a bottleneck at one stage or the other. In this case any ore with a high BWi value will have reduced . throughput due to the ball mill despite the capability of the SAG mill to handle
