Agromen (AGN35-A42) is a double cross hybrid and has an ultra-short-season life cycle while Bayer (A 3663) is three-way cross hybrid with a short-season life cycle.

The larger feeding particle size is, the greater the work done by the ball mill on the ore, which impacts the grinding efficiency. To reach the eligible grinding fineness, the workload must increase.
Ball Mills can be supplied with either ceramic or rubber linings for wet or dry grinding, for continuous or batch type operation, in sizes from 15″ x 21″ to 8′ x 12′. High density ceramic linings of uniform hardness male possible thinner linings and greater and more effective grinding volume.

A ball mill is a type of grinder used to grind or blend materials for use in mineral dressing processes, paints, pyrotechnics, ceramics, and selective laser sintering.It works on the principle of impact and attrition: size reduction is done by impact as the balls drop from near the top of the shell.

8.3.2.2 Ball mills. The ball mill is a tumbling mill that uses steel balls as the grinding media. The length of the cylindrical shell is usually 1–1.5 times the shell diameter ( Figure 8.11). The feed can be dry, with less than 3% moisture to minimize ball coating, or slurry containing 20–40% water by weight.
Compared with other ball mills that used for the same period, his ball mill grinding efficiency is higher by about 25%. At present, the capacity of the gold ball mill is 180TPH, the particle size of the feed is controlled at about 20mm, and the output easily reaches 200 mesh.

These data are then used to calculate the total pulp and ball charge angle (see Graph 5). Graph 5 clearly illustrates how the ball charge stays quite
The process was successfully scaled using agitated ball mill technology, resulting in a 40-fold increase in processed suspension batch size (from 7.5 g to 300 g of suspension) and an 8-fold decrease in processing time (from 24 h to 3 h) compared to the previous study .

12.1.2.1 Bayer Process Description
The low grinding efficiency of the ball mill, low processing capacity, high production energy consumption, and unstable product fineness are the problems that most concentrators will encounter. How to effectively improve the grinding efficiency of the ball mill is an important issue.
In this example, the OWi of the SAG mill was found to be 30% higher than the ball mill, thus suggesting that the SAG mill was less efficient than the ball mill. The apparent inefficiency of SAG mills when using Bond analysis is widely understood to be due to the difference in the slopes of the size distributions.
the other mills, as previously mentioned ball mills have a very low efficiency in terms of utilizing the energy generated towards particle size reduction. The diameter of the balls used in ball mills play a significant role in the improvement and optimization of the efficiency of the mill [4]. The optimum rotation speed of a mill, which is the
