How to Calculate and Solve for Percentage Metal Loss | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 10, 2021
The image above represents percentage metal loss.
To compute for percentage metal loss, one essential parameter is needed and these parameter is Percentage Recovery (%R).
The formula for calculating percentage metal loss:
%ML = 100 – %R
Where:
%ML = Percentage Metal Loss
%R = Percentage Recovery
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the percentage recovery is 12. Find the percentage metal loss?
This implies that;
%R = Percentage Recovery = 12
%ML = 100 – %R
%ML = 100 – 12
%ML = 88
Therefore, the percentage metal loss is 88%.
Calculating the Percentage Recovery when the Percentage Metal Loss is Given.
%R = 100 – %ML
Where:
%R = Percentage Recovery
%ML = Percentage Metal Loss
Let’s solve an example;
Find the percentage recovery when the percentage metal loss is 20.
This implies that;
%R = Percentage Metal Loss = 20
%R = 100 – %ML
%R = 100 – 20
%R = 80
Therefore, the percentage recovery is 80%.
