Predicting the Chromite Mineral Upgradation in Floatex Density Separator Using Hindered Settling Models

A short review on hydraulic classification and its development in mineral industry

“…From the literature listed in Table 2, it is envisaged that, variables (a) and (b) are the most critical to achieve the particle classification or separation. Out of these two, teeter water flow rate and set point are the controllable variables whereas teeter bed height as well as teeter bed density are Few researchers were attempted to understand the particle separation inside the separation chamber by means of slip velocity models and relative velocity models [57,60,61,62,69,70,72,73] but the considered models are unable to address the complex dynamics inside the separation chamber like voidage gradient, size distribution and density particle gradient in the bed and retention time distribution of particles, which need to be incorporated. Moreover, there are several statistical designed experiments were carried out by using different material and empirical models were developed to analyze the performance [58,62,71,[74][75][76].…”

A comparative study for smelting of chromite ore, pellets, briquettes and sinter

“…Tata Steel has been able to improve the Cr 2 O 3 content of fine chrome ore more than 52% using washing and beneficiation route. 3 Furthermore, Indian chrome ore suffers from another serious drawback of being highly friable. It may be noted from Table 1 that chrome ore fines generation is almost eight times higher than that of lump ore and the Cr 2 O 3 content in fine is also higher than the lumps.…”
