Read OnPulp density has a large influence on the grinding efficiency. In this case, the optimum is in the region of 73.4% or 1.989 kg/l. If one goes below that, the higher dilution will 'flush' the fines out of the mill and reduce the overall residence time in the mill. This will result in a coarser grind with a slightly
