B.Tech. II Year II Sem. \u00a0 \u00a0L\/T\/P\/C
\nCourse Code: MM402ES 4\/1\/0\/4<\/p>\n
Course Objectives:<\/strong> The prime objective of this course is to build the solid foundation on\u00a0principals and equipment of various mineral beneficiation procedures that would facilitate\u00a0metal extraction. It also focuses on mathematical derivations that are associated with\u00a0concentration processes.<\/p>\n Course Outcome:<\/strong> The student will be able to understand the concentration process for a\u00a0particular mineral. He will also have complete understanding on principles, constructions,\u00a0and working of equipment for concentration and classification.<\/p>\n UNIT I\u00a0<\/strong>Scope and Objectives of Ore Dressing; Sampling of ores by different methods; Theory of\u00a0liberation of minerals; Crushers – Jaw, Gyratory, Cone, Rolls and Toothed Roll crushers;\u00a0Grinding – Types of grinding operations like Batch and Continuous grinding, Dry and Wet\u00a0grinding, Open circuit and Closed circuit grinding, Grinding Mills – Ball mills, Theory of ball\u00a0mill operation, Rod and Tube mills; Comminution laws – Rittinger’s laws, Kick’s law and\u00a0Bond’s law.<\/p>\n UNIT II\u00a0<\/strong>Sizing – Study of laboratory sizing techniques and reporting of sizing data;\u00a0Industrial sizing units – Types of screen surfaces, Grizzlies, Trommels, Vibrating and\u00a0Shaking screens; Movement of solids in fluids \u2013 Stokes\u2019 and Newton’s laws, Terminal\u00a0velocity and its relation with size, Relation between time and velocity, Relation between\u00a0distance travelled and velocity; Equal settling ratio, Free and hindered settling ratios;\u00a0Quantifying concentrating operations – Ratio of concentration, Recovery, Selectivity Index\u00a0and Economic Recovery; Classification \u2013 Types of classifiers, Study of Settling Cones, Rake\u00a0Classifier, Spiral Classifier and Cyclones.<\/p>\n UNIT III\u00a0<\/strong>Heavy Media Separation – Principles, flowchart, different media used, Heavy Media
