The effect of feed moisture on the comminution efficiency of HPGR ...
Far less studied is the effect of feed moisture. This paper investigates both the overall and the specific comminution efficiency of a circuit consisting of a pilot HPGR unit followed by a batch ball mill as a function of the moisture level in the HPGR feed. Forsterite olivine sand (−7 mm) supplied by Sibelco Nordic was used as feed material.
