The Gol-E-Gohar iron ore concentration plant uses three 9m 2.05m autogenous mills (AG) in parallel in a dry operation. The AG mill shell is lined with three series (57 cm each) of 36-row liners. Due to large variations in feed characteristics and inadequate blending, the performance of AG mills has been lower than the target value. Therefore, to improve the comminution efficiency, the optimization of the design of AG mill shell liners was applied in this plant. By simulation it was found that increasing the liner lifter face angle from 7 to 30 while maintaining the original lifter height (i.e., 22.5 cm) could provide an appropriate charge trajectory. Measurement of the wear profiles of shell liners indicated that the wear along the liner length was not uniform and the highest wear occurred between 0.5 m and 1.2 m of the mill length. A new liner design was proposed by redistributing the metal from parts with a lower wear rate to the parts with a higher wear rate to arrive at a uniform wear profile along the liner length at the liner removal time. The non-uniform shell liner was constructed and installed in one of the three parallel dry AG mills. It was found that the first and second liner designs increased the mill throughput by 2.6 and 7.5%, respectively. After conversion to SAG milling on the account of liner change, 18% (from 413 to 489 t/h) increase in throughput was realized. It was predicted that the non-uniform liner designs will increase the liner life time by 10% and will reduce the scrap metal from the current value of 59% to 50%. 1
2 INTRODUCTION The use of large AG/SAG mills in the mineral industry has been on rise due to a significant reduction in capital and operating costs and increase in the plants throughputs. A notable advantage of SAG over AG mills is their flexibility in encountering feed hardness variations. The availability of these mills plays an important role in the economics of the operation. One of the main reasons of mills down time is the time required to change worn or broken liners (Maleki, Yahyaei and Banisi, 2012). Worn liners not only decrease the mill operating time but they also affect the charge motion, which has a significant effect on the grinding efficiency. It is then reasonable to assume that modelling of liner wear profile could assist optimization of the liner design for longer life and proper charge behaviour (Kalala, Breetzke and Moys, 2008; Yahyaei, Banisi and Hadizadeh, 2009). There are different criteria to evaluate the performance of liners. Liner life time (in working hours or product weight), and liner consumption (in working hours or weight of ground material) are the two most applied criteria. The liner performance not only should be considered in terms of cost of liner materials and change of worn liners, but it should also be studied from mill capacity and performance aspects (Parks, 1989; Yahyaei, Banisi and Hadizadeh, 2009). Aims of new liner designs are to improve the effective grinding through changes in shell lifter face angles and the spacing of the lifters (Powell et al., 2006; Rajamani, 2006; Royston, 2006). Sequential developments of liner design have been performed with the aim of decreasing mill down time, resulting from the replacement of worn liners. Liner material and design play key roles on the liner life time but experiences have shown that the latter is more critical. To arrive at an optimized liner design, it is customary to install one or two series of conventional liners and study their wear profile over time. The initial design could then be modified via redistribution of metal from the parts with lower wearing rate to higher wearing rate (Parks, 1989; Yahyaei, Banisi and Hadizadeh, 2009). It has been known for many years that a change in the face angle on SAG mill shell lifters results in a change in the trajectory of the thrown grinding balls. With the development of trajectory-generating computer programs, the effects of face angle, packing and lifter height have been incorporated in the shell lifter design. Increasing shell lifter face angles (for the same mill speed) does reduce the impact point of thrown balls and can reduce shell liner damage (Powell et al., 2006; Rajamani, 2006; Yahyaei and Banisi, 2010). Charge trajectory modelling has been used to present and interpret aggregate motion of a number of balls critical to the performance of the mill (Royston, 2003). The availability of large-scale cost-effective computing power in recent years has allowed the development of Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) computer programs which model charge trajectory in mills. DEM helps to understand charge motion in SAG mills for given liner designs and lifters, ball and rock properties and mill operating conditions. Based on the success of the 2-D model of the SAG mill the 3-D model in DEM was developed. These type of models could help to study charge motion and energy draft more accurately (Mishra and Rajamani, 1993; Cleary, 2001; Kalala et al., 2008; Powell et al., 2011). The mill trajectory is the main concern in liner designing issues because the direct impact of balls to the liner shell breaks them gradually. The charge trajectory can be optimized by the modification of liner design. 2
3 Yahyaei and Banisi (2010) designed a spreadsheet-based software (GMT) to model charge trajectory in tumbling mills. Charge shape and impact points predicted by the GMT (Grinding Media Trajectory) program was based only on a single ball trajectory. Maleki, Yahyaei and Banisi (2013) proposed new relationships to modify the GMT results to take into consideration the effect of charge. By applying the corrections to the charge shape and impact points, the GMT software outputs became more realistic. The Gol-E-Gohar iron ore concentration plant This study was carried out at the Gol-E-Gohar mining and industrial company located southeast of Iran. Three 9 m 2.05 m autogenous mills (AG) are used in parallel in a dry operation to grind a feed all under 32 cm which is the product of a gyratory crusher. The SAG mills use 4023 hp motors and work with constant 12 rpm rotational speed (i.e., 85% of critical speed) in one direction. The mill shell is lined with three series (57 cm each) of 36-row liners. Specifications of liners used are shown in Table 1. According to the liner manufacturer recommendation, the liners should be changed when the lifter height reaches 100 mm which is one third of its initial height. Due to large variations in feed characteristics and inadequate blending, the performance of AG mills has been lower than the target value. In this research, liners with new design were installed and AG mills were converted to SAG mills to improve the grinding efficiency at the Gol-E-Gohar concentration plant. Based on wear profile measurements, a modified liner was proposed to arrive at a uniform wear profile at the end of liners life time. The liner profile was measured over the period of liner life time and the effect of the modifications on the comminution efficiency was determined. Table 1 Specifications of liners at the Gol-E-Gohar concentration plant used in GMT software Plate thickness (mm) Lifter Face angle (degrees) Height (mm) Width (mm) Lifters in row Number of rows METHODOLOGY Charge trajectory predication software In order to determine the charge trajectory, a new version of GMT (Yahyaei and Banisi, 2010) was used. In the new GMT, Maleki, Yahyaei and Banisi (2013) corrected the charge shape and single ball trajectory to take into account the effect of charge by applying new relationships. In comparison with other software packages GMT has the advantage of using all MS Excel readily available functions and capabilities. The main feature of GMT is the ability to show the crescent-like shape of the charge along with the trajectory, which has not been incorporated in similar software packages. Its data entry section includes five parts to be completed by the user: general information, mill, grinding media and liner data, and parameters. 3
4 The model mill In this research a model mill with the diameter of 100 cm and a special design made possible to increase the mill length in steps of 3.6 cm up to 21.6 cm (Figure 1-a). In other words, the mill length could be increased by 6-fold. The transparent end of the mill made accurate trajectory determination possible by taking films and photographs. A 2.5 kw motor with a variable speed drive was used which provided a sufficient flexibility to test various operating conditions. The scale down ratio of 9 to 1 was used to construct the model mill using the plant mill dimensions. In order to exactly duplicate the plant liners arrangement in the mill, a polyurethane ring was accurately machined to create 36 lifters in a row (Figure 1-b). By this method any number of liners in a row with different designs could be tested. Between the lifters 36 plates were also included consistent with the plant liner design. (a) (b) Figure 1 a) The model mill, b)the polyurethane ring machined to scale down the liners arrangement of the plant mill 3-D linear wear profile measurement device The usual wear rate determination method is to assume uniform wear profile for a liner and measure the profile at one cross section. However it has been shown that the liner wear profile is not uniform (Banisi and Hadizadeh, 2006). Thus, a new method was used which measures the wear profile by building a 3-D model of liners after any given operating time. For this, a device made of aluminium with the dimensions of mm was constructed to measure the cross section accurately. The main part of the device contained equally spaced holes (Figure 2). Figure 2 The wear profile measurement device 4
5 To build the 3-D liner model, a software called Solidsworks was used (Figure 3). At this stage, the weight and volume of the liner could be easily determined. To determine the wear rate, measurements were made at four equally distanced cross sections. Scheduled shut-down periods of the SAG mill at the plant made regular measurements and monitoring of the liners possible. Figure 3 Typical 3-D model of a worn liner after 3000 h of operation at the Gol-E-Gohar concentration plant RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Charge trajectory prediction The charge trajectory, when using 125 mm balls and assuming 18% total filling, was predicted by the GMT software (Figure 4). The ball impact points clearly indicated that, with the original liner design, ball addition could result in direct impacts on the liners, causing severe damage. The low throughput of the mill could also be attributed to the inappropriate trajectory, where the toe of the charge does not receive any appreciable direct impacts from the falling load. The effect of different fillings on the position of the ball impacts was also studied. Impact points were measured in degrees, starting from the horizontal line passing the mill centre (i.e., 3 o clock position) and moving counter-clockwise. The distance between impact points and the toe was measured in degrees. Even at 24% filling which was considered high for the operation, there was 32º difference between the ball impact points and the toe position. Impact point Toe Predicated charge trajectory Predicted mill load Figure 4 Simulation of 125mm ball (18% filling) trajectory for the old liner by the GMT software 5
6 New liner design The new liner not only should provide an appropriate load trajectory, but it should also be as similar as possible to the original liner design, to facilitate its removal and installation. By simulation of the charge trajectory at various liner shapes, it was found that the lifter face angle was the most effective parameter influencing the charge trajectory. As a result, for the new design the lifter face angle increased, while lifter height was kept constant. To obtain a lifter face angle providing an appropriate charge trajectory, the face angle was increased from 7 to 30 and the ball trajectories were obtained by the GMT software (Figure 5). The results indicated that when the face angle increased from 7 to 30, the distance between the impact point and the toe decreased from 32 to 8 for 24% filling and decreased from 38 to 12 for 18% filling. Impact point Toe Lifter face angle (degrees) Mill load Figure 5 Simulation of 125 mm balls trajectories with different lifter face angles (24% filling) Since ball impact points were within the safe operating windows (i.e., -6.4 to 12 (Maleki, Yahyaei and Banisi (2013)), the lifter face angle of 30 was selected for the new design. To ensure the appropriate load trajectory, the laboratory-scaled models of the original and new liners were constructed and tested in the 1m-diameter laboratory mill. Steel balls within the size range of 4-12 mm were added to provide the desired fillings. For both the original and new liners, the tests were performed at 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24% filling. Since the rotation speed of Gol-E-Gohar mills was fixed at 85% of critical speed, this rotation speed was selected for all tests. Figure 6 illustrates the charge shape and trajectory for the original and new liners at 20% filling. Figure 6 Charge shape and trajectory of the original and new liners in the laboratory mill (20% filling) 6
7 Given the promising results obtained in the laboratory mill, the new liners (Design No. 1) with 30 lifter face angle and unchanged lifter height (i.e., 22.5 cm) were constructed and installed in AG mill No. 1. Figure 7 shows the original and new liners. The weight of the liners was kept equal to the original design to avoid increasing the total weight of the mill. Face angle Old liner design New liner design (Design No.1) Figure 7 The original and new liners used at the Gol-E-Gohar concentration plant mills Modeling liner wear profile The profile of a liner after 6200 h of operation at four equal distances along the liner length is shown in Figure 8. Unlike the first profile which does not experience much wear, profile 4 which is very close to the mill centre receives the highest wear. The relative height difference between the second profile and the fourth profile is 44% which is indicative of a non-uniform wear profile along the liner length. The liners wear increases from the feed end to the mill centre indicated by the decreasing trend of liner height. Figure 8 The wear profiles of a liner after 6200 h of operation at four points along the length of the liner During the liner life time (6200 h), five series of measurements were performed at 2300, 3815, 4350, 5150 and 6200 h of operation, respectively. As a result, the height of lifters at specific locations (i.e., profiles 1 4) and the corresponding operation time were determined. Proposed liner profile Based on the wear profile measurements, the highest wear rate was found to be between 0.5 m and 1.2 m along the mill length (Figure 9). Therefore, to arrive at a uniform wear profile at the end of liners life time, a modified liner was proposed. The main idea was to redistribute the metal from the low wear rate sections to those with a high wear rate. Unlike the old design the proposed design had a curved shape. 7
8 The lifter height changes along the liner compared with the old version from profile 1 to 6 was -72, -48, - 15, 21, 45, and 63 mm, respectively. This meant 72 mm reduction of lifter height in profile 1 (i.e., the first profile from the feed end side) and 63 mm increase in the lifter height for profile 6 (i.e., the second profile at the middle liner) (Figure 9). Figure 9 Variations of the maximum lifter heights along the liner after 6200 h of operation It was thought that the curved shape design may cause difficulties in liner production (casting). Therefore, final design (Design No. 2) was proposed where the first and third liners have sloped surfaces and the middle one has flat surface (Figure 10). It is worth noting that the weight of the proposed designs was kept equal to the original design to avoid any problem resulting from higher mill weight. Figure 10 The 3-D model of the proposed liner (Design No. 2) Since the dynamic behaviour of the charge is influenced by the lifter height, it was decided to evaluate the effect of the design change on the charge behaviour. The idea was to check whether the design change could cause direct ball impact on the shell which in turn could have detrimental effects on the operation. The study showed that, in the range of lifter height change ( mm), the impact angle of the charge did not change significantly (i.e., in the order of 1 3 ). This provides enough assurance that the new liner design will not have any adverse effect on the mill as result of direct ball impact on the mill shell. Investigating the effect of modified liners on mill performance Given the promising results obtained in the model mill, the new liners (Design No. 1) with 30 lifter face angle and unchanged lifter height (i.e., 22.5 cm) were constructed and installed in dry AG mill No. 1. Based on the wear profile measurements, the highest wear rate was found to be between 0.5 m and 1.2 m along the mill length. A new liner design (Design No. 2) was proposed by redistributing the metal from 8
9 parts with a lower wear rate to the parts with a higher wear rate to arrive at a uniform wear profile along the liner length at the liner removal time. The non-uniform shell liners were constructed and installed in AG mill No.1. Throughputs of the mill before and after changes are summarized in Table 2. Table 2 Throughputs and product sizes of the mill before and after liner change and after balls addition Averaging period (months) Throughput (t/h) P80 (µm) Before change ±56 502±25 Liner design No ±47 501±28 Liner design No ±41 546±26 Balls addition 6 489±25 529±26 The first and second liner designs increased the mill throughput by 2.6 and 7.5%, respectively. After conversion to SAG milling on the account of liner change, 18% (from 413 to 489 t/h) increase in throughput was obtained. It was predicted that the new liner design will increase the liner life time by 10% and will reduce the scrap metal from the current value of 59% to 50%. The measurement of profiles of non-uniform liners during 6220 h of operation indicated that this prediction could be achieved. It is important to note that during the liner design change period the hardness of feed increased which was observed and verified in other parallel dry mill. In other words, the reported increase is conservative and the actual increase is higher. CONCLUSIONS - To improve the comminution efficiency at the Gol-E-Gohar iron ore concentration plant, a change in the liner design and conversion from AG to SAG milling were practised. - It was found by simulation that increasing the liner lifter face angle from 7 to 30 while maintaining the original lifter height (i.e., 22.5 cm), the distance between the impact point and the toe decreased from 32 to 8 for 24% filling and decreased from 38 to 12 for 18% filling. Given the promising results obtained in the model mill, new liners (Design No. 1) with 30 lifter face angle and unchanged lifter height (i.e., 22.5 cm) were constructed and installed in AG mill No During the liner life time (6200 h), five series of measurements were performed at 2300, 3815, 4350, 5150 and 6200 h of operation, respectively. Based on wear profile measurements, the highest wear rate was found to be between 0.5 m and 1.2 m along the mill length. A new liner design (Design No. 2) was proposed by redistributing the metal from parts with a lower wear rate to the parts with a higher wear rate to arrive at a uniform wear profile along the liner length at the liner removal time.

After conversion to SAG milling a 18% (from 413 to 489 t/h) increase in throughput was obtained as result of the liner design change. It was predicted that the new liner design increases the liner life time by 10% and reduces the scrap metal from the current value of 59% to 50%. 9
