The feed ore is first ground using ball mills down to about 90% −75 micron particle size. Several drum LIMS are then used to take out the magnetite particles, while a number of drum MIMS (0.4 T Middle Intensity Magnetic Separators) are used to recover the martite grains. SLon magnetic separators are subsequently used to recover the hematite ...

Adding value to iron ore, at a cost: Australia's magnetite curse

Much of the rhetoric at the time went along these lines: magnetite was the future of iron ore, the first choice of Chinese steel mills looking to reduce pollution and produce higher quality steel. The returns would justify the investment. China understood magnetite and was happy to pay for it; Australia didn't understand magnetite, but it soon ...

Grinding Media Wear Rate Calculation in Ball Mill

Then in ball-wear formula (25), T = 6.9/K Log10 Da/Db; but from (29), K = Rt/Wt. Then T = 6.9Wt/Rt Log10 Da/Db T is 1 day, Wt is the original weight of the ball charge, and Rt is the ball wear for one day. Then Log10 Da/Db = Rt/6.9Wt are all known, and it is only necessary to solve for Db, the diameter of the balls to be added.
