Analysis of the efficiency of the grinding process in closed circuit ball mills

Ball mills for fine grinding cement clinker and additives are widely used around the world. To improve the efficiency of a ball grinding the ball mills are transferred in closed circuit with air-separators of various designs. In the article the analysis of existing grinding circuits on the basis of closed circuit ball mills made. Introduced a summary measure that allows to evaluate the performance of the grinding system according to various criterias. The conclusion about the prospects of data systems grinding when grinding to ordinary cement, in comparison with the grinding systems based on other principles of grinding.
