test. This isn't reported in a standard ball mill work index test, but the method of Levin, 1989, can be used to calculate a "Levin B value" which is the kW·h per revolution of a Bond laboratory ball mill. Dividing ball mill grindability (g of product/rev) by the Levin B (kWh/rev) gives the desired units of measurement (g/kWh).

a method using Bond Indices than adding a single factor of 1.25 to arrive at the AG/SAG specifi c energy. In 1991 the Canadians developed the SAGPower Index (SPI), test using 2 kg of material in a 300 mm diameter mill. This test has been further developed by Starkey, Hindstrom and Orser (2006). This test now includes a Bond Ball mill work ...

The aim of this study was to develop a new method for assessing the Bond work index in a ball mill (BBWI), which is based on a first order kinetics present in the Bond ball mill for grinding mineral raw materials (Austin et al., 1981; Ahmadi and Shahsavari, 2009). Theoretical basis of quick procedure

In the second step of the testing method, the test is based on the Bond ball mill. The product from the first step is then used for determination of the required ball mill energy for the secondary grinding stage to reach the target grinding size. The empirical formula to calculate Bond Mill Work Index (BWi) is presented in the equation (2)
