A Review of the Modeling of High Pressure Grinding Rolls

High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) technology is accepted as an energy-efficient and cost-effective alternative for treating specific mineral ore types. HPGR technology has been advancing within manufacturing facilities and research centers since its first installation in 1985. Over the last three decades much of the literature on HPGR have focused on the industrial applications and trade-off studies in comparison with semi-autogenous and ball milling circuits. Literature on fundamental studies of HPGR technology has been very limited. This paper aims to provide a review of the modeling of high pressure grinding rolls.
