The Coalition for Energy Efficient Comminution (CEEC) has been established and is supported by a broad range of mining sector companies keen to accelerate awareness, knowledge transfer and, by implication, improve energy and cost outcomes in the substantive area of comminution.
Autogenous grinding is a process of grinding ore in a rotating cylinder, using large pieces of the same ore. Autogenous mills operate mechanically like ball mills; however, the media used for grinding differs. Simply put, in autogenous grinding, the media is also the material that is being ground, whereas in other milling methods steel or ...

The grinding media can be steel balls or -rods or the ore itself as in autogenous grinding. Grinding is usually performed wet and when the mill is rotated ore and water, the mill charge, is intimately mixed. Several grinding steps, i.e. primary, secondary and tertiary, may be needed to achieve the desired size of the product.
Anglo American Platinum employs numerous fully autogenous (AG) primary mills. All are under Neuro-Fuzzy control, applied in a manner suitably robust to perform in the non-linear, highly unmeasured environment of primary milling (Steyn et al., 2010).These mills have recently been fitted with model predictive controllers that enable real-time optimisation and minimise a power utilisation ...
operations are normally grinding media and energy. Since the global eco-nomic downturn at the end of 2008, the control of these cost elements, to-gether with optimised performance especially on the milling component of these circuits, has become increasingly important. Anglo American Platinum employs numerous fully autogenous (AG) pri-mary mills.

2.1. AUTOGENOUS (AG) AND SEMI AUTOGENOUS (SAG) MILL OPERATION Semi autogenous grinding is one of the most used processes for comminution. The process involves feeding rock particles and water into the grinding mill containing a fraction of steel balls usually below 10% and running at a fraction of its critical speed.
In addition to semi-autogenous and autogenous grinding mills, the company's offering includes a wide range of slurry pumps and cyclones. For optimal performance, its SmartCyclone™ technologies automate the monitoring and control of cyclones, providing real-time data on key indicators such as spigot wear and roping.
Semi-Autogenous Grinding mills can be optimized for maximum ore throughput or maximum grinding energy efficiency. In both cases, precise control of the mill weight is critical. Model predictive control provides an additional tool to improve the control oSemif -Autogenous Grindingmills and is often
KEYWORDS Semi-autogenous grinding, simulation, optimization, copper, mine-to-mill, geometallurgy INTRODUCTION Vale's Sossego mine is located in Canaã dos Carajás, state of Pará, and started up operations in 2004 as the company's first copper mine.
Grinding is therefore considered a very beneficial target for optimization. It is critical in achieving a suitable ore feed size distribution in order to reach high grinding efficiency and throughput, especially in grinding circuits involving autogenous (AG) or semi-autogenous (SAG) mills.
Autogenous grinding tests were run in a 10-ft x 4-ft Rockcyl mill. The principle of prepared feed and media was utilized to determine how coarse a feed could be commercially fed to a rock mill. Secondary rock milling was expanded toward the particle sizes of primary milling while still utilizing the practices of secondary milling.
