The oxidation–reduction environment produced by high chromium iron media was between those produced by stainless steel and mild steel media (Adam et al., 1986). Peng et al. (2002) considered that iron(III) oxidation species produced during grinding plays a dominant role in galena floatation through the use of a specialized mill where the ...

The ball mill is a rotating cylindrical vessel with grinding media inside, which is responsible for breaking the ore particles. Grinding media play an important role in the comminution of mineral ores in these mills. This work reviews the application of balls in mineral processing as a function of the materials used to manufacture them and the …
