· A mill is required to grind 250 tph of limestone from an 80% passing size of 10 mm to 100 μm in a closedcircuit wet overflow discharge ball mill. Calculate the mill size required to handle the required throughput. Step 1. From Appendix, the Bond Work index of limestone is kWh/t. Using Bond's Equation : W = 10 × 1 100 − 1 10000 = kWh / t and P M = 250 × ...
