Fugitive dust that may be redioactive. Semi-autogenous grinding has become the primary choice in most new uranium plants that treat sandstone ores. Experience in the design of the grinding circuits is well established. Especially for uranium, the advantage of dust control early in the treatment process is a powerful incentive to adopt semi-autogenous milling. This appeal is even greater since, as in most cases, operation and control of the semi-autogenous grinding process will be easier and will cost less than a more conventional crushing screening and grinding process.
