Popis: Elemental chromium (Cr) does not occur in nature, but Cr exists in chromite ores as FeOCr2O3. There are some processes to obtain Cr from chromite. For all processes milling process is essential. In milling process of chromite, ball mills are generally used, because follow-up processes need fine particle size. Due to the fact that chromites with a high iron content are hard, mill components like liner and grinding media wear faster than many mines which is a significant problem in chromite grinding. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the influence of liner profile design and speed on chromite ball milling process. For evaluation of the experiments, power consumption, particle size and wear rate datas are calculated. In this experimental study, five liner profiles were designed and worked with three speeds (60, 70 and 80 % critical speed). By this combination, this study contains fifteen experiments. The ball milling process efficiency is related with shape of grinding media, kind...
