Abstract: Grinding specific rate of Anshan type hematite ores was analyzed using MATLAB software. Test results showed that breakage of ore particles in the grinding process went through three inherent stages: rapid grinding of coarse size fraction, dynamic grinding of middle size fraction and single grinding of middle size fraction. Particles in 0.043~0.031mm size fraction went into dynamitic grinding stage earlier than particles in 0.105~0.043mm size fraction, and then overgrinding of fines occurred easily in ball mill. Compared with cone crusher products, HPGR (high pressure grinding rolls) products had significantly shorter turning time points in three breakage stages, which means that HPGR products were ground faster with earlier occurrence of overgrinding. Given this, the increase of HPGR product tonnages into mills shortened the residence time of materials in ball mill, not only improving the capacity of mineral processing plants but also weakening overgrinding of fines.
