Eficiência da classificação da hidrociclonagem para amostras de frações finas do cobre oxidado da mina do Sossego, localizada em Canaã dos Carajás

Abstract

Conceptually, classification is the separation of an original population in two other populations, which differ by distribution of the particle sizes that are: a population thick and thin another population. The hidrocyclone is a classifier mechanical and rule of the thumb is centrifugal sedimentation. Its performance is influenced by its size, the operation variable and physical properties of solids and pulp fed. In this work we evaluated the efficiency of a hidrocyclone classification using samples oxidized copper. The ore was crushed; grinding tests were made and late hidrocyclonage. With that, we cold have control of every process and sensitivity to the test hidrociclone.
