How to Calculate and Solve for Degree of Liberation | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on October 2, 2021
The image above represents degree of liberation.
To compute for degree of liberation, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Free Particles (m) and Locked Particles (n).
The formula for calculating degree of liberation:
%F = 100 (m / m + n)
Where:
%F = Degree of Liberation
m = Free Particles
n = Locked Particles
Let’s solve an example;
Find the degree of liberation when the free particles is 21 and the locked particles is 7.
This implies that;
m = Free Particles = 21
n = Locked Particles = 7
%F = 100 (m / m + n)
%F = 100 (21 / 21 + 7)
%F = 100 (21 / 28)
%F = 100 (0.75)
%F = 75
Therefore, the degree of liberation is 75%.
