Optimization of the SAG Grinding Process Using Statistical …
2. Background. The SAG grinding process has been modeled by various authors, either generating explanatory models of the grinding process, with the aim of modeling, simulating, and optimizing the individual process, as well as integrating it into aggregate processes, such as the mine-to-mill (M2M) paradigm, a practice that has …
