Abstract. Nowadays, ball mills are widely used in cement plants to grind clinker and gypsum to produce cement. The research focuses on the mill speed as well as air classifier speed effect on the two compartment Cement ball mill performance in terms of Blaine, Sulphur xide contents, mill power, mill residue and mill residence time.

The life cycle performance of two alternative mill liner designs have been predicted using DEM with a calibrated wear model and using a geometric mill liner evolution method. The HICOM 110 mill was used as a case study to demonstrate how such a model can be used to help understand the full life cycle performance of a mill.
