25
Used to purify and characterize a wide range of substances from low-molecular polymers to multimagadalton protein complexes
Ultracentrifugation
26
Are essntial when bulk materials differ significantly in their physical properties
Air classifier
27
Used when particles within bulk material require fast and effcient sepa
Air classifier
28
29
The working princple in Air classifier are
air drag and centri Force (inertia)
30
Becomes dominant as particle size decreases, causing lighter, finer particles to be carried away bu airflow
Air drag
31
Air classfiers are effective for sepa of dry materials with sizes small than ?
100 mesh (149 microns)
32
Types of air classifiers
Gravitatonal Gravitational-inertial Centrifugal
33
Passing a current of air through a curtain of falling material and separates fine less than 150 mesh to 150 microns
Gravitational Air classifiers
34
Application of Gravitational Air classifier
Product dedusting Minerals processing Potas Salt
35
Passign a current of falling material and then recirculating the entrained fines back, 300 and 36 microns
Gravitational-inertial
36
separates 100 micron to 15 microns
Centri Air Classifier
37
versitle process for sepa particles in a mineral/water slurry based on the tendency of air bubbles to attach to specific mineral surfaces
Flotation
38
S-L sepa that can be used to selectively sepa hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic waste gangue
Flotation
39
Most common application of flotation
Waste and wastewater treatment
40
methods of froth flotation
Direct Reverse
41
Mineral sticks to the air bubbles
Direct
42
Gangue sticks to the air bubbles
Reverse
43
An organic compound that selectively attaches to the surface of the minerals and adds water-repelling nature to the articles
Collector
44
Group of compounds that help stabilize the foam
Frother
45
Make mineral surface hydrophobic, thus float
Activator
46
Deactivates the surface making it sink
Depressant
47
Advantages of flotation
1. All types of minerals can be separated 2. Suface properties can be controlled by flotation reagent 3. Highly appropriate for sepa of sulphide minerals
48
Is a water-treatment process that clarifies waste water by removing suspended solids, oils, greases, BOD, COD, and metals
Dissolved air flotation
49
Process of dissolved air flotation
1. dissolve air in WW under pressure 2. Relase air at ATM 3. Relaseds air forms tiny bubbles that adheres to the suspended matters and float
50
In dissolved air flotation, the suspended matter can be removed by?
skimming device ready to dewater for proper disposal
51
Clarifies WW by injecting gas bubble to the flotation tank
Induced gas
52
Device that separate magnetic substances from non-magnetic ones
Magnetic separator
53
Is done by passing the mixture through a magnetic field generated by separator
Magnetic separator
54
Magnetic susceptibility
Paramagnetic Diamagnetic Ferromagnetic
55
Weakly attracted to the magnetic field
Paramagnetic
56
Materials are repelled
Diamagnetic
57
Exhibit strong magenitism, easily separable
Feeromagnetic
58
Use rotating magnetic field to generate currents known as eddy currents
Eddy current separators
59
Eddy current induce a magnetic field with materials passing through causing a repulsive force that deflects a material away from the separator
Eddy current separators
60
designed to be suspended above conveyor belts or chutes to remove ferrous contaminants from material flow
Suspension magnetic separators
61
Are installed directly on converyor systems to remove ferrous contaminants with statioanry magnetic assemby
Conveyor belt magnetic separator
62
Features a rotating drum equippend with a magnetic elements, typically made of rare earth magnets
Drum magnetic separator
63
Harness the power of electric firlds to separate materials according to their electrical properties and the variation in charging is exploited to acheive sepa
Electrostatic sepa
64
General process of Electrostatic sepa
1. Charging 2. Sepa 3. Collection
65
Particles are charged by ion bombardment or by contact with a charged surface
Charging
66
Charged particles are Introduced into the electric field
Sepa
67
Based on their respective charges, they have different trajectories
Collection
68
Are commonly used for separation of conductve minerals and non-conductive and apply high-Volt DC
High tension roll separators (HTRS)
69
Use metal plates cahrged with electric current to separate smaller particles
Electrostatic palte and Screen Separators
