Abstract

A pilot-scale grinding technology of ceramic medium stirred mill was proposed in this study. Based on the specific productivity and grinding efficiency, the appropriate grinding parameters were ascertained as follows: material ball ratio of 0.7, ceramic ball medium size ratio (10 mm: 15 mm: 20 mm = 3:2:5), stirring speed of 110 rpm, grinding concentration of 50%, and medium filling rate of 90%. The stable running experiment was operated for 36 h at the optimum grinding parameters, and the iron concentrate grade 65.01% and iron recovery 89.29% were obtained after two stages magnetic separations when the content of −0.043 mm was 81.50%. Mineral liberation analyser (MLA) suggested that the liberation of iron from gangue was through grinding in the ceramic-medium stirred mill. Four NEUM-850 ceramic-medium stirred mills superseded the ball mills of second and third stage in the Aoshan concentrator, and the grinding unit consumption decreased by 48.38%.
