Question: Question 4 : Suppose a cyclone is being fed with mica ( density 2 8 0 0 k g m 3 ) in the form

Question 4:
Suppose a cyclone is being fed with mica (density 2800kgm3) in the form of a slurry of pulp (bulk) density 2000kgm3. The cyclone underflow density is 2400kgm3 and the overflow is 1600kgm3. Using this information and the information in the table:
a- Illustrate - via a sketch - the working Principe of the cyclone.
b- Plot the efficiency curve.
c- calculate the d50(cut point) of the cyclone.
d- For particles diameters of 400m and 1000m, what is the maximum efficiency that can be obtained?
