Modelling the influence on power draw of the slurry phase in Autogenous
This is particularly the case with so-called slurry pooling in AG/SAG mills which can result in significant lowering of power draw. From a predictive viewpoint there are currently no published models that explicitly describe the influence of slurry level on power draw and the relationship between slurry level, slurry flow and pulp lifter design.

The Modelling of Autogenous Grinding
Lumps in an autogenous mill should be defined as particles having suffi- cient kinetic energy to provide ener- gies above critical in other par- ticles they collide with. Lumps are also ground during milling and have a probability of hit S,,,,=I. This is the main diffrence in mill models and make ball mill models ob- solete.
Solved A milling circuit consists of a primary SAG | Chegg
A milling circuit consists of a primary SAG (semi-autogenous grinding) mill that is in open circuit. The product from the SAG mill is fed to the ball mill, with the product from the ball mills being classified in cyclones. The underflow from the cyclones is recycled, with the overflow forming the feed to the flotation circuit.The milling circuit.
