Question: Grinding, classification and concentration circuit is given in the below figure. A hydrocyclone is fed at a rate of 2 0 t h of dry

Grinding, classification and concentration circuit is given in the below figure. A hydrocyclone is fed at a rate of 20th of dry solids. The cyclone feed contains 30% solids, the underflow 50% solids, and the overflow 15% solids by weight. The ball mill is operating with 55% solids. Copper assays are given on the flowsheet for the concentration stage. According to the given data;
a- Calculate the solids flowrate ) of underflow and overflow of the hydrocyclone.
b- Determine the solids flowrate ) of new feed.
c- Calculate the water flowrate (th) in the underflow stream.
d- Determine the water amount ) which is added to the ball mill feed to operate the mill at 55% solids.
e- Calculate the recovery of the concentration process.
 Grinding, classification and concentration circuit is given in the below figure.
