Optimization of inmill ball loading and slurry solids ...
Highlights Combined effects of slurry % solids and ball load on milling of UG2 ore are studied. Central composite design and response surface methodology (RSM) are applied. Response variables are specific energy consumption and size reduction index. Optimized input factors levels combination are ∼29% ball load and ∼75% slurry solids. Test results at these conditions corroborates the ...
