Increasing the capacity of screen causes ____
decreases the screen effectiveness
Equation for Screen efficiency is
recovery x rejection
The material passing one screening surface and retained on a subsequent surface is called
intermediate material
Size measurement of ultrafine particles can be best expressed in terms of
surface area/ unit mass
The hardness of a mineral is a criterion of its resistance to crushing.
Which of the following is an example of a hard material?
sapphire
Mesh indicates the number of holes per
Linear inch
Describe:
Tyler Standard Sieve Series
US Standard Sieve Series
International Test Sieve Series
Tyler Standard Sieve Series: consecutive mesh have sqrt(2) ratio
US Standard Sieve Series: consecutive mesh have fourth root of 2 ratio
International Test Sieve Series: similar to both, but have different wire gauges
The standard equipment recommended for automatically carrying out sieve test procedures with accuracy and dependability.
Ro tap shaker (read Screening)
A major expense in crushing and grinding of feed material
Cost of power
For the preliminary breaking of hard rock, we use a ____
Gyratory crusher
Size reduction mechanism used in jaw crushers is ____
Compression
The main size reduction operation in ultrafine grinders is
Attrition
Explain Taggart’s Rule
T= 0.6 * L * S
T: short ton/hr
L: length feed opening, in
S: greatest with of opening, in
if T/S^2 > 0.155: Use Gyratory crusher
if T/S^2 < 0.155: Use Jaw crusher
Size Reduction Mechanism:
Coarse
Fine
Ultrafine
Coarse: Compression
Fine: Impact
Ultrafine: Attrition
As the product becomes finer, the energy required for grinding
increases
To get a fine talc powder from its granules, the equipment used is
Ball mill

Impact
The operating speed of a ball mill should be __________ the critical speed.
Less than
