How to Calculate and Solve for Passing Reduction Ratio | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 8, 2021
The image above represents passing reduction ratio.
To compute for passing reduction ratio, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are 80% Passing Size of Feed (F80) and 80% Passing Size of Product (P80).
The formula for calculating passing reduction ratio:
Pr = F80 / P80
Where:
Pr = Passing Reduction Ratio
F80 = 80% Passing Size of Feed
P80 = 80% Passing Size of Product
Let’s solve an example;
Find the passing reduction ratio when the passing size of feed is 21 and the passing size of product is 3.
This implies that;
F80 = 80% Passing Size of Feed = 21
P80 = 80% Passing Size of Product = 3
Pr = F80 / P80
Pr = 21 / 3
Pr = 7
Therefore, the passing reduction ratio is 7.
Calculating the Passing Size of Feed when the Passing Reduction Ratio and the Passing Size of Product is Given.
F80 = Pr x P80
Where:
F80 = 80% Passing Size of Feed
Pr = Passing Reduction Ratio
P80 = 80% Passing Size of Product
Let’s solve an example;
Find the passing size of feed when the passing reduction ratio is 3 and the passing size of product is 9.
This implies that;
Pr = Passing Reduction Ratio = 3
P80 = 80% Passing Size of Product = 9
F80 = Pr x P80
F80 = 3 x 9
F80 = 27
Therefore, the passing size of feed is 27.
Calculating the Passing Size of Product when the Passing Reduction Ratio and the Passing Size of Feed is Given.
P80 = F80 / Pr
Where:
P80 = 80% Passing Size of Product
Pr = Passing Reduction Ratio
F80 = 80% Passing Size of Feed
Let’s solve an example;
Find the passing size of product when the passing reduction ratio is 12 and the passing size of feed is 36.
This implies that;
Pr = Passing Reduction Ratio = 12
F80 = 80% Passing Size of Feed = 36
P80 = F80 / Pr
P80 = 36 / 12
P80 = 3
Therefore, the passing size of product is 3.
