— Sometimes the work index increases when determined a finer size. There are two reasons why work index will increase when determined at a finer size. For most hard rock ore the natural grain size is much finer than the grind size so breakage in ball milling is along grain boundaries. Occasionally the natural grain size of an ore is coarse …

The FC Bond Work Index Test Ball Mill was designed by F. C. Bond for use in determining the Bond Index, a measure of grindability and power required for grinding applications. The FC Bond Mills are used in laboratories throughout the world. A copy of Fred C. Bond's Method of Crushing and Grinding for determination of the Bond Index is included with …
The Work Index is used when determining the size of the mill and grinding power required to produce the required ore throughput in a ball mill. 2. Procedure 2.1.
