QUESTION 2 [20 Marks] A hard rock (specific gravity = 3.8) is fed at 12000 kg per hour (F2) to a ball mill operating with a classifying screen. The overhead from the classifying screen is recycled back (8000 kg/h) to the feed. Oversize Recycle, R 1 Classifying 1 Screen 1 Raw Feed, F1 F2 Ball Mill Crusher discharge P: Undersize Product, P2 The ball mill produces the following particle size distribution and a work index of 15.3 kWh/ton.
