Bauxite grindability at elevated temperature in various mills

The alkaline grinding experiments were performed in Bayer refinery liquor with a concentration of 190 g/L Na2O sourced from the Ajka Alumina Plant (MAL Stock Company). To determine the grindability indices of bauxite experimentally, first dry grinding tests were carried out under "standard" Hardgrove test conditions at room temperature.

High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) is rarely considered as lateritic bauxites are too soft to warrant this technology. Only for hard diasporitic bauxite, where digestion feed sizes of P80 -75 µm are required would it ever be considered. Rod and ball mills can readily handle bauxite on account of its very soft nature. However, it is the
