Application of the Cumulative Kinetic Model in the Comminution of Critical Metal Ores

Over the last decades, several reliable mathematical models have been developed for simulating ore comminution processes and determining the Work Index. Since Fred Chester Bond developed the Work Index standard procedure in 1961, numerous attempts have been made to find simpler, faster, and economic...

description Over the last decades, several reliable mathematical models have been developed for simulating ore comminution processes and determining the Work Index. Since Fred Chester Bond developed the Work Index standard procedure in 1961, numerous attempts have been made to find simpler, faster, and economically more advantageous alternative tests. In this paper, a Bond test simulation based on the cumulative kinetic model (CKM) has been checked on a spreadsheet. The research has been accomplished by conventionally determining the kinetic parameters for some Ag and Au ores and for three pure minerals and one rock that are common constituents of the gangue rock. Analysis of the results obtained allowed to develop a simplified procedure for calculating the kinetic parameters and their application to Work Index determination through simulation.
