Ball mills as well as rod mills are widely used in the mining industry on account of their simplicity. Ball mills in particular play an important role in secondary grinding of ores to final particle sizes smaller than 100 µm. The market leader Outotec alone has delivered more than 8000 such mills for the mining industry (Fig. 11).

After the gold ore has been removed from the earth using mining equipment, it is sent to a gold processing plant. The typical gold processing plant begins with a cone crusher, to reduce the particle size of the ore. Next, it is loaded on a conveyor belt, where an overbelt magnet removes tramp metal from the gold mining process.

Mineral Processing and Ore Dressing. Before the event of ore dressing, crude ores were shipped directly to the smelters, or the refineries, with the shipper paying the freight and treatment charges. These charges varied with the type of ore and the distance from the smelter. In all cases they were many times our modem milling costs.

The mineral is fed in at one end with a maximum size of about 25mm. The rods crush the rock and as the charge passes through the mill it is reduced in size to between 2mm and 0.1mm. The mill can be fed from one end with the product removed from the other end or, alternatively, the mill can be fed from both ends with the discharge at the centre.

Its major purpose is to perform the grinding and blending of rocks and ores to release any free-gold that is contained within them. At major mines, the mill was the critical equipment that was required to process the ores that were extracted from deep underground. Many early mines used stamp mills, but many operations today find that …

Upgrading low grade gold ore stockpiles. Sensor-based automatic ore sorting technologies are used in the minerals industries to efficiently remove waste and sub-marginal grade material from crushed and screened run of mine (ROM) ore, producing a coarse (typically >10 mm) upgraded pre-concentrate at an early stage in the mineral processing circuit.

For example, Ca2+ in lime can weaken the negative polarity of the quartz surface, reduce the electrostatic repulsion, and facilitate the adsorption of the ionic flocculant. Gold flotation, in the treatment of simple metal sulfide ore with less cyanide harmful substances in the ore, generally control the flotation pH = 7~9 with lime.
