Ultrafine grinding for improved mineral liberation in
The effect of stirred milling, in particular mill type, stress intensity and grind size, on downstream processing was investigated in terms of energy requirements, particle size distributions, mineral liberation and mineral breakage rates. It was shown that the breakage rates of hard and soft minerals converge at high stress intensities.
