Question: 3 . 2 . ( b ) A 2 0 0 k W mill is treating 5 0 tons of ore per hour and the

3.2.(b) A 200kW mill is treating 50 tons of ore per hour and the feed and product size distributions
are as shown in the graph below:
You are told that the mill runs at 75% of critical speed and at a mill filling J of 30%.
You are also told that the mill diameter is equal to the mill length.
From the provided information solve the following:
(i) Estimate the work index of this ore (8)
(ii) Calculate the diameter of this mill (10)
(iii) The mill is now replaced by another that is geometrically similar but 10% bigger.
What will be the product size if the ore feed rate and all the operation parameters remain the
same (12).
 3.2.(b) A 200kW mill is treating 50 tons of ore per
