Mild steel media were more active than chromium media and produced more reducing grinding conditions. Recently, Peng and Grano (2010) found that grinding media affected pyrite flotation in the presence of copper and lead ions. Mild steel media which produced reducing grinding conditions promoted pyrite flotation in the presence …

These vary in size according the size of particle being processed. The grinding media is mixed in with the ore as it is processed. or The grinding media used depends upon particle size desired and energy considerations. As particle size decreases, grinding media size also has to decrease for efficient grinding to take place.
