I have seen some misguided mineral processing souls claim you could compensate grind (purposely under design the primary circuit) with more flotation time/capacity. How to Improve Flotation Recovery by L D Michaud March 17, 2017 October 30, 2016 Categories Flotation, Grinding, Tools of a Metallurgist Post navigation
The fineness of the ore particles produced by grinding is crucial to recover the minerals by flotation. The most common grinding machines are semi-automatic (SAG) and automatic (AG) mills and ball mills. Grinding size Determining an optimal grinding size can maximize the recovery of target minerals in the subsequent flotation process.

mineral processing is to adjust the size of mineral particles to adapt to the optimum size for the successive separation processes. Screens and classifiers are used to adjust the particles within prescribed and closer size range. They are arranged in many cases in conjunction with the equipment for 'size reduction', or 'comminution'.
That means more energy is required in future. In the mineral processing, most of the energy is absorbed due to impact and dissipated as heat or noise, while only a small part of energy is used to generate new surfaces [5Ã7]. Obviously, it is great significance to improve the efficiency of grinding process [8].
Grinding of Feedstuffs. Grinding is a major function of feed manufacturing and is by far the most common method of feed processing. It is also the most cheapest and simple process and results in a substantial reduction in particle size and exposure of much more surface area to action of chemicals as well as to the digestive juices.
grinding circuits, ball and rod mill circuits, and crushing circuits also facilitate testing and circuit design. After production starts, in-plant audits allow modeling and simulation to optimize existing plants. HARD ROCK LITHIUM PROCESSING

Energy Use in Comminution. Grinding activities in general (including coarse, intermediate, and fine grinding) account for 0.5 pct of U.S. primary energy use, 3.8 pct of total U.S. electricity consumption, and 40 pct of total U.S. mining industry energy use. Large energy saving opportunities have been identified in grinding in particular.
