AP42 12.18 Leadbearing Ore Crushing and Grinding
After extraction, the ore is processed by crushing, screening, and milling. Domestic lead mine production for 1991 totaled 480,000 megagrams (Mg) (530,000 tons) of lead in ore concentrates, a decrease of some 15,000 Mg (16,500 tons) from 1990 production. Except for mines in Missouri, lead ore is closely interrelated with zinc and silver. Lead ores

Gold and Silver Extraction
For lead ores, lead concentrates are roasted and smelted to produce a lead bullion. Silver is recovered from lead bullion by the Parkes process. In this process, zinc is added to molten lead bullion, which reacts with gold and silver to form insoluble compounds that are skimmed off from the top of the lead bullion.
Crushing, Grinding and Concentration of the Ore
These pieces are then reduced to fine powder with the help of a ball mill or stamp mill. This process is called pulverisation. (2) Concentration of Ore or Ore Benefaction. The ores are usually found mixed up with large amounts of non-metallic impurities such as, sand, mica, limestone, felspar, earthy and rocky impurities.

Crushing Mineral Processing
In mineral processing, the reduction of minerals by crushing and grinding may be regarded as having one or other of two main objectives: the attainment of a size appropriate for the direct industrial application of the …
Advances in Ore Processing Technologies: Crushing, Milling …
Crushing develops more efficient particle breaking, avoiding fine particles, and optimizing energy consumption. The liberation step is the grinding process and consumes most of the energy in a mineral processing plant. The liberation size gets smaller every day, and the milling operation must be constantly optimized.
The Extractive Metallurgy of South Africa's Platinum Ores
screening, crushing, and ball milling was used initially to treat the Merensky ores. Because these ores did not screen easily dry, the installed wet-screening opera-tion created a separate flotation circuit to treat crusher fines. Semi-autogenous (SAG) milling developments in the South African gold industry brought these
