A comminution circuit of three-stage crushing and one-stage milling was adopted by configuring the tower mill after HPGR. As shown in Fig. 1, the primary crushing involves a C80 Jaw crusher comminuting the ROM ores from − 350 to − 70 mm for feeding the secondary crushing.In secondary crushing, a GP100M cone crusher is closed with a …

The first principle of comminution states that the specific energy input always equals the energy register of the product minus the energy register of the feed;. Disregard, of this principle and assignment of zero energy register to the feed, results in a distorted, interpretation of comminution results. This distortion Increases as the feed ...

Copper - From Beginning to End. Copper is a major metal and an essential element used by man. It is found in ore deposits around the world. It is also the oldest metal known to man and was first discovered and used about 10,000 years ago. And as alloyed in bronze (copper-tin alloy) about 3000 BC, was the first engineering material known to man.
