mill. As such, primary ball mills should be designed with the rod mill work index, and single-stage ball mills should be with both the rod mill and ball mill indices. This is because it is common to observe a difference (sometimes significant) between the rod mill and ball mill index values for a given ore type (McKen, Verret, & Williams, 2006). On
— Gypsum is a crystalline form of hydrated calcium sulfate (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 0) generally used in cements and plasters in the construction industry, though also in paints, fertilizers, medicines, papers, and textiles. For use in these materials, gypsum must be ground finely (< 100 μm), if not ultra-finely (< 10 μm), for which ball mills are most effective.

(Equation 1) includes ore grindability in the mill grinding efficiency metric. Mill grinding efficiency is essentially the mill grinding rate (t/kWh) normalised by a grindability value (g/rev). The ore grindability value is typically obtained by performing a batch grindability test on ball mill feed (cyclone underflow).
