A flotation plant processes 3,000 tons/day of

CuFeS2.It produces 80 tons Cu concentrate
assaying 25% Cu. If ore analyzes 0.7% Cu, The
precent recovery is
a. 95.24%
b. 99.24%
c. 93.24%
d. 92.24%
Any operation in which one solid is separated from
another by floating one of them on the surface of the
fluid.
a. Flocculation
b. Agglomeration
c. Flotation
d. Sedimentation
Alter the surface of the mineral in order that it will
become air-avid
a. Frothers
b. Promoters
c. Coagulant
d. Activators
added to strengthen temporarily covering film of
the air bubbles. It serves to stabilize the froth and
holds the minerals until the froth can be scraped
off into the concentrate launder.
a. Frothers
b. Promoters
c. Coagulant
d. Activators
A Swenson-Walker crystallizer is to be used to
produce 1 ton/hr of copperas crystalas by cooling a
saturated solution which enters the crystallizer at
120oF. The slurry leaving the crystallizer will be at
80oF. Cooling water enters the crsyallizer jacket at
60oF and leaves at 70oF. It may be assumed that U
for the crystallization is 35 BTU/h-ft2-oF. There are
3.5 ft2 of cooling surface per foot of crystallizer
length and crystallization unit is 10 ft length. The
cooling water required is
a. 52 gpm
b. 56gpm
c. 60gpm
d. 64 gpm
The number of crystallizer units to be used.
a. 6
b. 7
c. 8
d. 9
The concentration difference between that of the
supersaturated solution in which the crystal is
growing and that of a solution in equilibrium with
the crystal is called
a. Saturation
b. Unsaturation
c. Supersaturation
d. None of these
Compounds whose solubility increase with
increasing temperature results in
a. Absorption of heat when the compound
dissolves
b. No evolution of heat
