Bauxite grinding is a critical step in the production of high-quality alumina for chemical processing. The efficiency and precision of grinding directly impact downstream processes such as digestion, precipitation, and calcination. This article explores advanced grinding technologies and their applications in bauxite processing, with a focus on achieving optimal particle size distribution and energy efficiency.
| Parameter | Target Range |
|---|---|
| Particle Size (D80) | 45-150μm |
| Specific Surface Area | 200-350 m²/kg |
| Moisture Content | <1% |
Bauxite’s variable hardness (Mohs 1-3) and abrasive silica content demand specialized grinding solutions. Traditional ball mills often suffer from:
Vertical roller mills (VRM) have revolutionized bauxite grinding with their:
Our LM Series Vertical Roller Mill exemplifies these advantages with:
| Model | Capacity (t/h) | Power (kW) | Fineness (μm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM150K | 13-38 | 280 | 40-170 |
| LM190K | 23-68 | 500 | 40-170 |
For high-purity alumina production requiring sub-10μm particles, we recommend our flagship SCM Ultrafine Mill featuring:
A recent installation of our MTW215G mill achieved:
