BTU Energy Required to Dry Ores and Concentrates

BTU_Energy_Required_to_Dry_Ores_and_Concentrates

To Drive off Moisture (theoretical) per Ton (2,000 lbs.) of Dry Material. Total B.T.U. include 63,840 B.T.U. to raise temperature of material from 60° F. to 212° F. at which point evaporation takes place (at sea level); specific beat of material taken as 0.21. Coal assumed to have 12,000 B.T.U. per’lb. as used and is […]

Calculate the Capacity of an Agitator & Conditioner

Conditioner Capacity Table-Chart

Example 1) It is desired to give 48 hours of contact on 100 tons per 24 hours of 2.7 specific gravity ore in a pulp of 40% solids (1:1.5). What size agitators will be needed? Total volume equals 59.85 –> from our Pulp Density tables. Tons feed equal 100. 59.85 time 100 equals 5,985 cu. ft. (total […]

Calculate Slurry Flow / Volume

calculate slurry flow volume

An example of how you can calculate the slurry flow/volume of a given SG, %Solids and Tonnage. EXAMPLE: 3,400 tons of dry solids is processed in 24 hours in water with a specific gravity of 1.0 and the concentration of solids by weight is 33% with the solids having a specific gravity of 3.7 then […]
