First, it is established that charge motion in ball and SAG mills can be computed with ease using DEM. The simulation results in the case of the ball mill are verified by comparing snapshots of charge motion. Furthermore, it is shown that power draw of ball as well as SAG mills can be predicted within 10%.

The ball mill parameters are illustrated in Table 2 . The specific gravity of the media is equal to 2.7.

The number of lifters of mill shell liners, mill rotation speed, and filling percentage of grinding media are three of the most important parameters influencing the charge behavior and the trajectory of ball motion inside the SAG mills, and consequently, their performance. In this paper, the milling operation of pilot-scale SAG mills using the discrete element method (DEM) is investigated.

In this thesis, a procedure for predicting the charge motion and the power draw of a ball mill based on the discrete element method (DEM) is calibrated and validated by means of photographs of the charge, and power draw measurements of a 1:5-scale laboratory mill, which were kindly provided by the company Magotteaux International S.A. .

A major advance in the modeling of ball mills became possible through the development of the discrete element method. DEM provides a numerical procedure for solving Newton's second law with an appropriate contact relationship that can be applied to describe the motion of each grinding medium contained in the mill charge to predict element position, velocity and forces of interaction over time.

In this research, the effect of ball size distribution on the mill power draw, charge motion regime and breakage mechanism in a laboratory ball mill was studied using the discrete element method (DEM) simulation. The mill shell and crushing balls were made of Plexiglas® and compressed glass, respectively. Modeling was performed using Particle Flow Code 3D (PFC3D).
