A raw material grinding circuit was modeled using plant data. Samples were collected from around the circuit and, following a crash stop, from inside the mill. The size distributions of the samples were determined down to a few microns. Using the data from inside the mill a modeling approach, based on perfect mixing, was developed.

A numerical model based on the discrete element method (DEM) was developed to study flow of grinding media in IsaMill. The DEM model was first verified by comparing the simulated results of the flow patter, mixing pattern and power draw from those measured from a 1:1 scale lab mill.

The modeling and simulation of semiautogenous (SAG) mills have been widely used in the design and optimization of mill performance in terms of its power draw, processing capacity and product size distribution. However, these models are solved under steady approximation and do not provide any information on mill charge distribution in real time.

1. Introduction. Semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mills are presently one of the most widely used alternatives in the field of mineral size reduction as a result of their comparative advantages, such as higher processing capacity, lower physical space requirements, and lower investment and maintenance costs, as compared to conventional circuits.

The simulation of AG and SAG mills are completed in less than 8 hours. The ball mill simulation with million spheres is completed in 27 hours. In the near future, these compute times can be halved with the advances in graphic card hardware. KEYWORDS Discrete element method, grinding, simulation, GPU, computing, comminution, tumbling mill

Modelling and simulation of semiautogenous (SAG) mills are valuable tools for helping to design control laws for a given application and subsequently to optimise its performance and process control.

Simulation of the grinding circuits using mathematical models of the mills and classifiers is a technique which is being used increasingly in comminution because of its low cost and its ability to consider many variables simultaneously (Lynch 1977, NapierMunn et al., 1996).

Advanced Simulation for SemiAutogenous Mill S ystems: A Simplified Models Approach 147 description it is necessary to consider the relationship between the feed stream and mill charge level. This relationship is known as the transport rate and is probably the least developed aspect in models proposed so far (Apelt et al., 2002 a,b).

Modelling and simulation studies were carried out at 26 cement clinker grinding circuits including tube mills, air separators and high pressure grinding rolls in 8 plants. The results reported earlier have shown that tube mills can be modelled as several mills in series, and the internal partition in tube mills can be modelled as a screen which ...
