Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the existing mathematical models for the simulation of grinding and classification in mill–classifier circuits not only for ball mills but also for other mill types. Examples of the simulation of closed circuits are divided according to the mill type and the level of sophistication introduced into the models. Milling circuits are used in various industrial sectors to achieve desired product size distributions and product properties. The optimization and control of milling circuits is of high technological importance. Various models of mills and milling circuits are published in the literature with different precision and degree of sophistication. Mostly the grinding and classification are investigated separately and then both unit operations are connected into a mathematical model by the recirculation feed. To provide cost and time savings as well improvement of productivity through optimization of a grinding circuit a mathematical simulation of the process can be applied.
