(PDF) Effect of circulating load and classification efficiency on
The ball mill is the most common ore grinding technology today, and probably more than 50% of the total world energy consumption for ore grinding is consumed in ball millsUsing the large diameter cyclone size, such as the 900 mm diameter, results in a fewer number of operating cyclones and possibly a lower capital cost The 900 mm hydrocyclone can also produce an increase in the amount of +150 micron material reporting to the hydrocyclone overflow, and a decrease in the amount of 75 micron material in the Hydrocyclone size selection for mill concentrator applications
High recirculating loads in Ball Mill Circuits Grinding
The ball mill grinds The cyclones separate But the pump neither grinds nor separates So what is the purpose of having such a big pump to maintain high circulating loads in our grinding circuit?

Closed circuit ball mill Basics revisited ScienceDirect
1 Introduction Over the years, ball mill circuits closed with cyclones have become an industry standard, and since the early days, it has been recognised that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit grinding (ie its capacity to produce the desired final product)
