Apparent bypass, classifiers

Analysis of this type of classifier (15) suggests that the sharpness iadex is between 0.5 and 0.6, consistent with calculated results, because the degree of turbulence can be high ia these devices (16). A DSF Dorr classifier (1.8 m x 7 m), operating at 19 strokes per minute and having a weir depth of 100 cm and a slope of 19.4 cm/m, produced a cut size equal to 240 p.m, a sharpness iadex of 0.5, and an apparent bypass of approximately 26% when the water spht was 26% (15). [Pg.437]

Centrifuges. Sohd-bowl centrifuges have been proposed as an alternative classifying device to hydrocyclones for cut sizes below 10 pm. The results appear to be mixed (21). In one apphcation, where the cut size was 6.5 pm and the sharpness index 0.7, there was essentially no apparent bypass. However, in other apphcations operating at higher feed concentrations, the cut size ranged from 5—8 pm, but the sharpness index was between 0.3—0.5 and the apparent bypass between 10—30% or higher (22). Smaller cut sizes have also been reported (23). [Pg.438]

The yield is the sum of column 5 multipfled by (1 — a). Thus, if the operating apparent bypass of the classifier is 0.3, then the yield is 24.65% or 0.2465. The coarse mass values can be calculated by subtracting the fine mass values multipfled by (1 — a) from the feed interval values. The coarse interval values are then calculated by dividing the coarse mass values by the sum of the coarse mass values. [Pg.442]

The other type of classifier inefficiency is apparent bypass, a. If, because of mutual interference or other reasons, some of the feed material bypasses the separation and reports to either the fine or the coarse streams, then a certain percentage of one of the product streams will have the same particle size distribution as the feed materiaL Both the apparent bypass and the sharpness index dictate the performance of classifiers. [Pg.125]
