Dust can be separated from a granular material mixture by blowing air vertically up through the mixture so 

Dust can be separated from a granular material mixture by blowing air vertically up through the mixture so that the dust particles are carried away and the heavier material is left behind. Calculate the maximum spherical dust particle diameter that could be separated by a vertical air stream of 10 m/s. Dust relative density is 2.8.
