Multiple Choice
It is desired to separate quartz particles from galena particles by utilizing their
different specific gravities. A hydraulic classifier is used under free-settling
conditions and separation is carried out in water at 68 0F.
Given data: specific gravity of quartz = 2.65, specific gravity of galena = 7.5, size
range of particles in original mixture is from 0.0052 – 0.0025 cm. Assuming the
Reynolds number at terminals settling velocity is less than 0.1 and applying Stoke’s
law to quartz particles, what is the diameter of the smallest quartz particle (cm) in
the combined fraction if three fractions are formed, quartz, galena and combined
mixture?
