ball grinding index

Work Index and Sample Size

Bond work index (BW i) is a measure of the hardness of an ore. This is a quality of the rock, which generally does not change over the size ranges encountered in ball milling. The BW i is used to predict the power required for grinding. The equation used for calculating power required for grinding is: Where W = KwH per short ton
