Bond Work Index Formula-Equation - Mineral Processing & Extractive Metallurgy

The document discusses the Bond Work Index formula, which calculates the equivalent amount of energy required to grind one ton of ore from a large size to 100 micrometers. It provides the Bond Work Index test results for a sample, showing values of 17.97 kW-hr/st and 19.81 kW-hr/mt. The document also includes links to more information on Bond's grinding formula and the test procedure used to determine the Bond Work Index.

What is the Bond Work Index Formula-Equation?In case you had forgotten, here is a classic:
You can read all the details of this now Biblical grinding power requirement calculation formula in Fred Bonds
original paper. You can also review the step-by-step Bond Work Index Test Procedure I posted here.

See thisuseful summaryTable of Bond Work Index by Minerals.


For any circuit, whether a crushing circuit, a rod mill, or a closed ball mill circuit, the Work Index always means
the equivalent amount of energy to reduce one ton of the ore from a very large size to 100 um.
The sample was received crushed appropriately for the ball mill test.
Ball Mill Grindability Testwas conducted by standard practice using 100-mesh (150 pm) closingscreens.The ball
mill work index is shown below.
BM Wi (kW-hr/st) = 17.97
BM Wi (kW-hr/mt) = 19.81
