When the mill charge is more homogeneous size, the effect of ball segregation is less and so the power consumption of the mill will be less affected.

Read More2012.10.1 1. Introduction. Sulphide ores are conventionally concentrated by grinding in steel rod and ball mills followed by flotation. During wet grinding sulphide minerals form galvanic couples with the grinding media in which sulphide minerals with potentials much more noble than the grinding media result in accelerated corrosion of the grinding media.
