How to Calculate and Solve for Classifiers Efficiency | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 6, 2021
The image above represents classifiers efficiency.
To compute for classifiers efficiency, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Mass of Underflow (U) and Mass of Feed (F).
The formula for calculating classifiers efficiency:
R = U/F
Where:
R = Classifier Efficiency
U = Mass of Underflow
F = Mass of Feed
Let’s solve an example;
Find the classifier efficiency when the mass of underflow is 15 and mass of feed is 3.
This implies that;
U = Mass of Underflow = 15
F = Mass of Feed = 3
R = U/F
R = 15/3
R = 5
Therefore, the classifiers efficiency is 5.
Calculating the Mass of Underflow when the Classifier Efficiency and the Mass of Feed is Given.
U = R x F
Where:
U = Mass of Underflow
R = Classifier Efficiency
F = Mass of Feed
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass of underflow when the classifier efficiency is 20 and the mass of feed is 4.
This implies that;
R = Classifier Efficiency = 20
F = Mass of Feed = 4
U = R x F
U = 20 x 4
U = 80
Therefore, the mass of underflow is 80.
Calculating the Mass of Feed when the Classifier Efficiency and the Mass of Underflow is Given.
F = U / R
Where:
F = Mass of Feed
R = Classifier Efficiency
U = Mass of Underflow
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass of feed when the classifier efficiency is 8 and the mass of underflow is 32.
This implies that;
R = Classifier Efficiency = 8
U = Mass of Underflow = 32
F = U / R
F = 32 / 8
F = 4
Therefore, the mass of feed is 4.
