    The document discusses the steps in mineral processing. It begins by outlining the key steps: mineralogy identification and liberation study, comminution through crushing and ball milling, classification and screening, and separation techniques like magnetic separation and froth flotation. It then provides further details on crushing, describing the mechanical advantage, crushing ratio, efficiency, and laws of crushing like Rittinger's law, Kick's law, and Bond's law. Specific crushers are also defined like jaw crushers, gyratory crushers, and roll crushers. Milling equipment like ball mills, rod mills, and autogenous mills are also mentioned.

    Crushing Ratio

    i=Dmax/dmax.
    Dmax: crushing of material before the largest size;
    dmax: the largest size after crushing the material.

    7
    Laws of Crushing
    Rittingers law
    The energy expended during comminution is proportional to the area of the
    new surface produced as a result of particle fragmentation.

    Kicks law
    The energy is proportional to the size reduction ratio.

    Bonds law
    The total work input represented by a given weight of crushed or ground
    product is inversely proportional to the square root of the diameter of the
    product particles.

    Jaw and Gyratory crusher

    A gyratory crusher is similar in basic concept to a jaw crusher, consisting


    of a concave surface and a conical head; both surfaces are typically lined
    with manganese steel surfaces. The inner cone has a slight circular
    movement, but does not rotate.
    As with the jaw crusher, material travels downward between the two surfaces
    being progressively crushed until it is small enough to fall out through the gap
    between the two surfaces.
