    The document contains data from 5 grinding tests of varying lengths. It shows that with increased grinding time: 1) Higher percentages of material are retained on finer sieves, indicating finer particle sizes are achieved. 2) The optimal grinding time is around 8-9 minutes, as indicated by the peak cumulative passing percentage on the 106 micron sieve size. 3) Longer grinding times beyond the optimal point lead to over-grinding and decreased cumulative passing percentages on finer sieves.
