Dynamic modelling and simulation of semi-autogenous mills

Modelling and simulation of semi-autogenous (SAG) mills are valuable tools for helping to design control laws for a given application and subsequently to optimise its performance and process control.

Dynamic modelling and simulation of semi-autogenous mills

1. Introduction. Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills are presently one of the most widely used alternatives in the field of mineral size reduction as a result of their comparative advantages, such as higher processing capacity, lower physical space requirements, and lower investment and maintenance costs, as compared to conventional circuits.

Grinding is one of the most energy-consuming processes in the mining industry. As a critical part of the comminution process, autogenous grinding (AG) or semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills are often used for primary grinding. However, the breakage mechanism of an AG/SAG mill is inefficient in grinding particles of a certain size, typically in the range of 25-55 mm, i.e., pebbles. Therefore
