The self-grinding work index is an extension of the concept of Bond work index. It generally refers to the work index calculated by using Bond's fracture theory on the principle of ore crushing energy consumption according to the W, F, and P data of a small or semi-industrial or industrial self-grinding test. In this kind of test, McPherson …

The Bond work index, W i, is defined in a Bond ball mill on the samples of standard size − 3.327 + 0 mm. In practice, it is possible to find materials of non-standard size that are finer than 3.327 mm.. In this work, a procedure for the calculation of the Bond work index is suggested for cases when the Bond grindability test is conducted on …

See this useful summary Table of Bond Work Index by Minerals. For any circuit, whether a crushing circuit, a rod mill, or a closed ball mill circuit, the Work Index always means the equivalent amount of energy to reduce one ton of the ore from a very large size to 100 um. The sample was received crushed appropriately for the ball mill test.

feed size distribution is different to a standard Bond ball mill work index test. A series of 10 samples for an Andean copper project were treated to both the SAGDesign (and Sd_bwi) test and the standard Bond ball mill work index test with 180 µm closing screens. The SAGDesign results (with the non-standard ball mill feed) are given in Table 1.
