In this study, the first and second law analysis of a raw mill is performed and certain measures are implemented in an existing raw mill in a cement factory in order to reduce the amount of energy consumption in grinding process.
Bond Work Index (Energy equation)
E is the specific energy consumption, kWh/tonne, F 80 is the feed size to the primary BM; T 80 is the transfer size (prim mill product size), P 80 is the final product (cyclone overflow). The following efficiency factors may also apply, but they must be greater than 1.0 otherwise use 1.0: EF2 is the open-circuit correction factor, EF4 is the oversize feed factor, EF5 is the fine product factor.
THE EFFECT OF BALL MILL OPERATING PARAMETERS ON MINERAL
United States power consumption is related to comminution (Comminution and Energy Consumption, 1981). With this in I mind it is understandable that one would want to control a grinding circuit so that the energy required to process a given ton of ore is optimal. .Furthermore, overgrinding an ore and the subsequent production of fines can reduce the
