Abstract
Milling is among the most energy-consuming technological stages of copper ore processing. It is performed in mills, which are machines of high rotational masses. The start of a mill filled to capacity requires appropriate solutions that mitigate the overloading. One method for increasing the energy efficiency of ball mills is to optimize their drive systems. This article looks at two variants of drive systems with efficiencies higher than the already existing solutions. The first variant is a low-speed synchronous motor with permanent magnets without a gearbox, and the second variant is an asynchronous high-efficiency motor with a gearbox and a fluid coupling. The energy performance analysis of the three solutions was based on the average energy consumption indicator per mass unit of the milled material and on the energy consumption per hour. The investigations required models of the drive systems and analyses with the use of the Monte Carlo methods. The highest energy efficiency is observed in the case of the solution based on the permanent magnet motor. However, the drive system with the high-speed motor offers a gentle start-up possibility owing to the fluid coupling.

Abstract
The European Commission (EC) maintains the consideration of tungsten as a critical raw material for the European industry, being the comminution stage of tungsten-bearing minerals an essential step in the tungsten concentration process. Comminution operations involve approximately 3–4% of worldwide energy consumption; therefore, grinding optimization should be a priority. In this study, the grinding behavior of tungsten ore from Barruecopardo Mine (Salamanca, Spain) is analyzed. A protocol based on Austin’s methodology and PBM is developed in order to study the influence of operational and geometallurgical variables on grinding kinetics. In addition to the kinetic parameters, the breakage probability (Si) and breakage function (Bij) is determined. The selection function was formulated for the Barruecopardo Mine with respect to the mill speed.

Abstract
The optimization of processing plants is one of the main concerns in the mining industry, since the comminution stage, a fundamental operation, accounts for up to 70% of total energy consumption. The aim of this study was to determine the effects that ball size and mill speed exert on the milling kinetics over a wide range of particle sizes. This was done through dry milling and batch grinding tests performed on two samples from the Penouta Sn–Ta–Nb mine (Galicia, Spain), and following Austin methodology. In addition, the relationships amongst Sn, Ta and Nb content, as metals of interest, the specific rate of breakage Si, the kinetic parameters, and the operational conditions were studied through X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques. The results show that, overall, the specific rate of breakage Si decreases with decreasing feed particle size and increasing ball size for most of the tested conditions. A selection function, αT, was formulated on the basis of the ball size for both Penouta mine samples. Finally, it was found that there does exist a direct relationship amongst Sn, Ta and Nb content, as metals of interest, in the milling product, the specific rate of breakage Si and the operational–mineralogical variables of ball size, mill speed and feed particle size.

Abstract
The interest in the utilization of palm oil ash is high, mainly due to their renewable material, opportunity to enhance the properties and possibility to use in a wide range of applications. Palm oil ash is the by-product of the palm oil mill boilers and locally available in the form of micro-size particles. In this research, optimization of the milling process was designed using the Taguchi method to find the most influencing parameters for the preparation of palm oil ash (POA) nanoparticles using a ball milling technique. The experiment was applied using a L9 orthogonal array and signal to noise ratio to investigate the performance of parameters, which are milling time, milling speed, and balls size. The results from signal to noise ratio reveal that to produce POA nanoparticles in optimum parameters, the size of balls shows the highest significant effect on the production of POA nanoparticles, followed by milling time and speed. The results of the parameters optimization experiment were validated by a confirmation test of milling machine operations.
