Improving Energy Efficiency in Barrick Grinding Circuits
the lifters and also reduced the modeled impact of the ball charge on the unprotected liners above the slurry pool. The discovery of excess mill pooling in the SAG mill prompted a review of the "pumping" capacity of the SAG mill. The excess slurry pool inhibited grinding and caused unnecessary power draw on the mill with the internally recirculating slurry. Crash stop .
