Scale-Up Investigation of a Pilot and Industrial Scale Semi-Autogenous
Semi-autogenous (SAG) mills are a broadly adopted class of comminution devices used for the large-scale grinding of rocks in mineral processing. Although geometrically fairly simple, they display a broad range of dynamics with complex interactions that make their selection, design, operation, and scale-up difficult.Web
