 — The general characteristic of all these methods is the need for either a Bond mill or a standard laboratory mill. A different, non-standard method for determining the Bond work index was presented using an experimental relationship between the Bond work index and the mechanical and elastic properties of the material (Yap et al., 1982).

 — 2.2 Bond Ball/Rod Mill Work Index. Bond ball mill work index (BBMWI) test is a standard test used to measure the ball mill work, which is calculated in accordance with the procedure proposed by the Bond [21]. The BBMWI determines how much energy is needed to grind a sample of ore in a ball mill [22].
