Fractional distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of two or more components based on their boiling points. It is used in the petroleum industry to separate crude oil into its various components such as gasoline, di…
A thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperature. It consists of a metal or glass tube containing a liquid, usually mercury, that expands and contracts with changes in temperature. The expansion and contraction of the …
In this article, I have been told about the uses, advantages, working, and construction of reciprocating pumps which are as follows. {tocify} $title={ Table of Contents } Construction of Reciprocating pump The main parts of the …
The separation of solids from a suspension in a liquid with the help of a porous medium or screen retains the solids and allows the liquid to be termed filtration. The operation of separating a solid from a liquid by means of a p…
Flotation refers to an operation in which one solid is separated from another by floating one of them at or on the liquid surface. In the fourth flotation, the separation of a solid feed mixture depends upon the differences in s…
There are a few different types of classifiers that are commonly used. The first type is a rotary classifier, which uses a rotating drum to classify materials. The second type is a vibrating classifier, which uses vibrations to h…
A jig is a mechanical machine used for the separation of materials of different specific gravities by pulsating a stream of liquid flowing through a bed of materials resting on a screen. Mineral processing is an important step in…
A grizzly is a grid of parallel metal bars set in an inclined stationary frame, with a slope of 30° - 45°. The slope and the path of the material are usually parallel to the length of the bars. The length of the bar may be up to …
Screens that are rapidly vibrated with small amplitude, keep the material moving and prevent binding as far as possible. Vibrating screens are commonly used in industries where large capacity and high efficiency are desired. The …
Construction: Trommels are revolving screens consisting of a cylindrical frame surrounded by wire cloth or perforated plate (which acts as a screening surface). They are open at one or both ends and inclined at a slight angle to…
'A method of separating solid particles according to size alone is called screening. Screening is for separating solids on the basis of size. It refers to the separation of solid materials on the basis of size using screens o…
The fine particles are generally specified accordingly to their screen analysis . A screen analysis of a material is carried out by using testing sieves. A set of standard screens is arranged serially in a stack in such a way tha…
