Abstract Discrete element method (DEM) has been applied to the mining and mineral processing simulations since 1990s. Successful applications include simulations for conveyor transportation and transition, screen size separation, crusher crushing process, SAG/AG and ball mill operations and associated liner wears, flotation process, and etc. In these DEM applications, particle sizes change from micron scale to meter scale and solid fractions vary from
