Description

This article describes the model of Autogenous (AG) and Semi-Autogenous (SAG) mills by Leung (1987), with the variable breakage rates extension of Mutambo (Morrell and Morrison, 1996).[1][2][3]

The Mutambo AG/SAG mill model may be invoked from the Excel formula bar with the following function call:

=mdUnit_AGSAG_Mutambo(Parameters as Range, Size as Range, MillNewFeed as Range, MillRecycleFeed as Range, OreSG as Range, OreBreakageParams as Range)

Invoking the function with no arguments will print Help text associated with the model, including a link to this page.
