Abstract

This study focuses on the evaluation of wear of the abrasive load in a ball mill using basalt ore in the province of Manabí. These mills grind minerals wear out steel spheres and influence the operating conditions of the equipment. The basalt mineral was selected for its hardness and resistance. An exploratory, qualitative, descriptive, and experimental research methodology was designed to evaluate the wear using several tests, such as mass loss test and abrasive wear test. The results indicated that both the steel spheres and the basalt ore experienced low wear during the tests.  Valuable information on the wear of the abrasive load of basalt ore in ball mills is gained by knowing the impact of wear. These findings may have significant implications in the mining industry.
