In conventional milling, the ore is crushed to, plus or minus, 3/8 of an inch, before it is put into a mill for grinding. In a autogenous mill the ore is fed directly into the mill from either the primary crusher or the mine itself. The size of the rock will be between four and eight inches.

Autogenous and Semi-Autogenous Mills. Autogenous (AG) and Semi-Autogenous (SAG) milling has seen increased use in recent years, especially in large mineral processing operations. These mills typically have a large diameter relative to their length, typically in the ratio or 2 or 2.5 to 1. AG mills employ ore as the grinding media.

Other articles where autogenous mill is discussed: mineral processing: Grinding: Autogenous mills operate without grinding bodies; instead, the coarser part of the ore simply grinds itself and the smaller fractions. To semiautogenous mills (which have become widespread), 5 to 10 percent grinding bodies (usually metal spheres) are added.

Autogenous mills are available for both wet and dry grinding. The diameter of autogenous mills is normally two to three times the length. It can, therefore, be concluded that autogenous grinding was not suitable with this particular gold ore, but semi-autogenous operation with about 8% ball charge was the preferred option.

The autogenous mill can process materials of any property, especially when grinding asbestos, iron ore, copper ore, limestone, gold ore, manganese ore, etc. It has a large grinding ratio, up to 4000-5000, and the feeding size is generally 300-400mm (910mm in special cases). After grinding, the material particle size can reach 0.1mm or less.

Semi autogenous grinding and autogenous grinding circuits are used for grinding the ore. Both rod mills and ball mills are used for this purpose. Capital investment and operation costs of grinding equipment are high. Hence economics play a large part in planning for the degree of crushing and grinding performed to prepare ore for beneficiation.

"IntroductionIn autogenous mills, grinding of the ore feed is accomplished by the direct action of the variously sized rocks making up the feed on each other and the mill interior. Size reduction is achieved without the addition of grinding media foreign to the mill feed, differing in this respect from rod, ball, and pebble milling.

Iron ore is the key raw material for steel production enterprises. Generally, iron ore with a grade of less than 50% needs to be processed before smelting and utilization. After crushing, grinding, magnetic separation, flotation, and gravity separation, etc., iron is gradually selected from the natural iron ore.

AG mill (autogenous mill) is a medium-free mineral grinding equipment. The raw ore and the coarsely crushed ore are directly fed into the AG mill. No other medium is involved in grinding. Only the impact between the ore is used for self-grinding. The ore larger than 100mm in the AG mill plays the role of grinding medium.

In comparison to conventional tumbling mills, i.e., rod- and ball mills, the grinding media in an autogenous mill derive from the feed ore itself (Rowland and Kjos, 1978).Any change in feed ore properties will therefore affect the grinding charge and thus, the breakage mechanisms within the mill.
