I am currently busy with my final year project. I work at a company that is currently struggling to get the desire split ratio to construct the tailings dam! We are going to run trials - varying the spigot and vortex finder to try find the optimum pair!
There is just one other thing that I...
I am doing an investigation on tailings dam cyclones, they are not performing properly. I thought maybe it could be that the density is changing from when the slurry leaves the plant to when it gets to the tailings dam site, as the density will affect the split ratio from the cyclone. But before...
Thank you, Im not too sure yet, I need to investigate and test that...I have a feeling it will have a finer consistancy? so a decrease in density...is that what happens to the concrete?
I would like to know if it is possible for a tailings slurry's density to change from the plant, to the deposition at the tailings dam.
The pipes come from the plant which is almost 30km away and goes through a series of diameter changes, also it splits into several directions (T-pieces)several...
Great stuff, thank you for that, if the particles would be too small for a sieve, are there other forms of grading tests? The particle sizes are between 75 and 25 microns
I am busy with a research project to determine why our cyclones are supplying the wrong split! Our design is based on 16% underflow but we are only getting 11.8%. Can anybody with more experience help with some options as to why this could happen, so that i could look into with more depth and...
