Abstract: A pulp lifter for installation in a grinding mill has a leading edge and a trailing edge with respect to rotation of the mill and comprises a first wall bounding an interior space and a second wall dividing the interior space into first and second sections. The first wall includes a leading edge wall formed with an inlet opening providing access to the second section and an inner edge wall formed with an outlet opening for discharge of slurry from the second section. The second wall includes a guide that extends substantially from an outer end of the leading edge wall to a trailing end of the inner edge wall, and the first section of the interior space is open at the trailing edge of the pulp lifter.
