OSTI.GOV Conference: Analysis of grinding actions of ball mills by discrete element method
Abstract Ball mills, like other comminution devices, consume large amounts of energy. Mill operators often have to assess the power draft of mills for an entirely different set of operating conditions or for a reconfigured circuit. It is shown that the power draft can be accurately predicted from analysis of the motion of the charge. The motion of the charge is rigorously simulated with a ...

The discrete element method (DEM) is a proven numerical technique for modelling the multibody collision behavior of particulate systems. This method is used here to study the motion of ball charge in tumbling mills. To get meaningful results, it is essential that the parameters involved in the model be carefully determined.

In the discrete element simulation of tumbling mills, the energy expended in the collisions between ball to ball and ball to mill shell is summed over one or two full revolutions of the mill to predict net power draw. Correspondingly, in the case of SAG mills, the collision pair between balls, ore particles, mill shell, and liner is summed.
