The Feasibility of Ferro-alloy fines Recovery by using Centrifugal Separator Technology

A.B. Nesbitt, Stephen Wanliss, F.W. Petersen

Abstract

The effect of an increase in gravitational force on the separation of a binary (different densities) mixture of particles in a centrifugal separator is investigated. An algorithm calculates the effect an increase in gravity has on improving separation using established particulately fluidised bed models. These results are compared to separation data generated by a continuous centrifugal separator.
