The flow sheet shown below illustrates a conventional closed circuit grinding operation. The cyclone overflow line is instrumented with a magnetic flow meter and nuclear density gauge, and the mass of dry ore fed to flotation is 20 t/h. The feed from the fine ore bins is sampled, and is found to contain 8% moisture. The cyclone feed contains 30% solids, the cyclone underflow 60% solids, and the overflow 20% solids. Calculate the circulating load on the circuit and the amount of water required to dilute the ball mill discharge.
