What is circulation ratio and circulating load of a mill


Assignment Task: Mineral Processing

Problem 1:

A hydrocyclone is classifying material as shown below:

2499_Classifying material.jpg

What % of the feed material will be classified?

Problem 2:

What is circulation ratio and circulating load of a mill if the hydrocyclone underflow is regrind in the mill. The operation parameters of the hydrocyclone are shown below:

Problem 3:

The volume flow rate of pump fed to a hydrocyclone was 129 L/min. Its solid content was held at 32% by volume. Samples of the feed, under flow and over flow streams were taken simultaneously, dried and a size analysis carried out. The results obtained were:

Underflow rate = 30 L/min Overflow rate = 99 L/min

Problem 4:

A hydrocyclone classifier is fed with quartz slurry at the rate of 20.8 t/h from a grinding mill. The underflow is re-circulated. The screen analysis of each stream was determined with the following results:
