Power-based modelling of single-stage AG and SAG mill …

single-stage mill is finished material suitable for flotation or leaching, usually in the size range of 80% passing 200 µm to 100 µm. The design of such circuits is complicated by the typical power-based models used for conceptual design being calibrated to a two-stage circuit with AG or SAG mill product being passed to aWeb
