Math & Conversion Calculate the Specific Gravity or Ores and Rocks How to convert a Pulp Density (%Solids) to SG Specific Gravity Circulating Loads How to Calculate a Grinding Circuit’s Circulating Load […]
Do I Need Bigger and Larger SAG Mill Balls
How do you know if a larger SAG ball will increase your tonnage and how to select it? When is it time to change to a larger Ball in your SAG Mill? It’s difficult to generalize on SAG mill ball size selection as it depends on a number of factors: Ore properties Level of impact […]
Australian software reduces coal-stockpiling hazards and increases safety
How can the mining companies effectively diminish some safety risks? Well, the firm Immersive Technologies has an idea: the SimControl 4.6, the latest version of the software used to control advanced equipment simulators released last May. The company that supplies surface and underground equipment simulator to the global mining industry updated its software to specifically address […]

Calculate Slurry Flow / Volume
An example of how you can calculate the slurry flow/volume of a given SG, %Solids and Tonnage. EXAMPLE: 3,400 tons of dry solids is processed in 24 hours in water with a specific gravity of 1.0 and the concentration of solids by weight is 33% with the solids having a specific gravity of 3.7 then […]

Percent Solids to Specific Gravity Conversion of Slurry
Here is the formula for specific gravity of a slurry, S is: S = specific gravity of slurry Si= specific gravity of liquid phase Ss= specific gravity of solids phase Cw = concentration of solids by weight Cv= concentration of solids by volume EXAMPLE: if the liquid has a specific gravity of 1.2 and the concentration […]
Bond Work Index Formula-Equation
What is the Bond Work Index Formula-Equation? In case you had forgotten, here is a classic: You can read all the details of this now “Biblical” grinding power requirement calculation formula in Fred Bond’s original paper. You can also review the step-by-step Bond Work Index Test Procedure I posted here. See this useful summary Table of Bond Work […]
Compare Flotation Test Results
Learning how to compare flotation test results made easy: One set of test from Lab A is displayed by the red dots and compare to the blue and/or green data set from Lab B. Lab B is red inferior. Here are the comparative Grade VS Recovery Curves. Metallurgical Efficiency: One of the most important and basic […]
