In this study, the relationships between the liberation degree and the kinetic breakage parameters of a chromite ore obtained from the Burdur (Türkiye) were examined under the laboratory conditions. Firstly, liberation degrees for chromite particles were determined by the particle counting method in a metal microscope for 4 different size groups. Secondly, the breakage parameter of chromite ore which was dry ground with a ball mill was obtained using standard test methods. Additionally, the model parameters were also determined for the fractional interstitial fillings (U) of the chromite sample. Thirdly, the kinetic grinding parameters were compared with the liberation degree of the chromite sample. As a result of the tests, a very good correlation was obtained with R2=0.998, and regression analysis in the grinding processing of the chromite ore was used to verify the validity of the relationship parameter of Si that was produced. To these, it was found that interstitial fillings (U=0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2) have an effect on the grinding.
