Experimental characterization of chalcopyrite ball mill grinding processes in batch and continuous flow processing modes to reduce energy consumption

A mineralogy, rheology, and energy consumption-based experimental characterization of chalcopyrite ball mill grinding processes, in both batch and continuous flow processing modes, is carried out in this work. Accordingly, chalcopyrite ore samples are initially characterized in terms of mineralogica...
