DetailsThe finest product comes from the disc mill. The selective comminution leads to a high increase of the lead content from 0.4 % in the feed material to 4.3 % in the fractions < 0.125 mm in the product of the shoot apparatus. Here, the fraction < 0.125 mm contains only 2 % (mass) of the product, but 18 % of the galena.
DetailsComminution is known to be an inefficient user of energy. This makes it the largest energy consumer in many mine sites and therefore a large component of cost. One would therefore have thought that improving comminution energy efficiency would be receiving the undivided attention of the mining industry, but this is not the case. ...
