dc.description.abstract This study examines the crucial role that feed size plays in the fine grinding of dolomite obtained from Sri Lanka's Naulla deposit. The study is carried out at Metal Mix Pvt. Ltd. Galpatha site, a commercial facility that prepares dolomite for use in a variety of industries. By identifying the most efficient feed size range that improves comminution efficiency while attaining the desired particle size distribution, the main goal is to optimise the dolomite crushing unit, in particular the autogenous mill. The research process includes in-depth field tests and laboratory examinations. The effect of different feed size ranges on the grinding process is assessed by on-site studies. Analyses of the particle size distribution are performed based on the output of the autogenous mill to evaluate how well it performs with various feed sizes. The outcomes show that there is a distinct relationship between feed size and the effectiveness of fine grinding. According to the study, limiting feed size ranges from 1.5 to 4 inches which greatly raises crushability, cuts down on energy waste, and optimizes the grindability. The dolomite processing industry, where energy-efficient comminution is of utmost importance will be benefitted out of the findings of this study. en_US
