The standard ball mill Bond grindability testThe standard Bond grindability test is a closed-cycle dry grinding and screening process, which is carried out until steady state condition is obtained. This test has been described as follows (Bond and Maxson, 1943; Yap et al., 1982; Austin and Brame, 1983; Magdalinovic, 1989).
Coal, Chemical and Physical Properties. Richard G. Lett, Thomas C. Ruppel, in Encyclopedia of Energy, 2004 5.4.2 Grindability. The grindability of coal, or the ease with which it may be ground fine enough for use as a pulverized fuel, is of considerable practical importance. It is a composite physical property usually evaluated by empirical tests; the …
The Bond grindability testing procedure has been standardized to obtain the same grindability values, i.e., Bond work index (BWi), on the same ore when tests are performed in different laboratories or by different operators. This is accomplished by the standardization of mill dimensions, tumbling speed, grinding-ball charge weight and …
The Bond work index is one of the most useful and interesting parameters used in designing grinding equipment. However, it must be obtained under restrained conditions, especially in regards to the Bond standard lab mill. The main objective of this study is to show how this index can be obtained using a Denver ball mill, which is …
In order to address the comminution behavior of rocks, mostly addressed index is HGI, i.e. Hardgrove Grindability Index. Although HGI is evaluated in most cases to understand coal comminution behavior by many researchers [12,13,19,41,50,53,63], still some other researchers [29,51] have employed HGI in terms of carbonates and limestones.
The relationship between wi and grinding size did not show a clear correlation, while the grindability index (gpr) and the grinding size showed a robust correlation, fitting in all …
Here is the old Allis-Chalmers Bond Work Index Grindability Test Procedure. The standard feed is prepared by stage crushing to all passing a 6 mesh sieve, but finer feed can be used when necessary. It is screen analyzed and packed by shaking in a 1000-cc graduated cylinder, and the weight of 700 cc is placed in the mill and ground …

The Tovarov grindability index is used to determine the influence of materials on the cement clinker grinding capacity of a mill; the basis is rotary kiln clinker with a defined grindability index of a = 1.According to this, a mill grinding 30 t/h clinker, will grind 30 x 1.40 = 42 t/h of marl or 30 x 0.6 = 18 t/h of silica sand. The grindability index of rotary …
investigation reveal that the Bond work index grindability values may differ substantially with different standard Bond ball mills. This paper reviews the results of this investigation.
The basic work index equation is: W = 10 Wi/√P – 10 Wi/√F(1) where W is the work input required in kilowatt hours per short ton to grind from 80% passing F microns to 80% passing P microns, and Wi is the work index, or the grinding resistance parameter. It represents the energy input required in kilowatt hours to reduce a s…

The Hardgrove grindability test, commonly used in coal characterization, was conducted on 13 Mississippian carbonates from Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois. The results demonstrated that the grindability increases with a decrease in the SiO2/(MgCO3+CaCO3) ratio, with fine-grained and petrographically-complex stones …

the grindability of the material corresponding to the con-ventional Bond work index experiment. In the experiment, a conventional Bond laboratory mill with "DxL = 305 x305 mm" balls and a rotation speed of 70 min was employed. Bond (1961) employed dry grinding to simulate a closed grinding cycle until a circulating load of 250% was obtained.
Yes, the Bond index is useful and widely accepted in the mining industry but it has serious limitations. This needs to be captured accurately in the Introduction section. ... attract more readers if authors summarize main findings of their review in a table comparing pros and cons of different grindability tests.

The ball mill grindability test, which is similar to the Bond grindability test, was first introduced by Maxson, Cadena and Bond in 1933 (Maxson et al., 1933). Later, F. Bond developed a new grindability test as the Bond grindability Index as a method in 1956 with both different mill diameter and different material and ball load.

One of them is the Hardgrove index, associated mainly with vertical spindle mills and the other is Bond's grindability, associated with tumbling mills [2]. Bond's grindability can be empirically related to the energy required for comminution and thus is useful for the design and selection of crushing and grinding equipment [3].

microns) sieve. The Hardgrove index is calculated according to the empirical formula H = 13 + 6.93D (5.1) where D is the passing rate in g. A higher Hardgrove index is equivalent with better grindability, but no proportionality exists between Hardgrove index and energy demand: H = 100 in no way means a double output when compar ing with H = 50.
