Evaluation Of A Hindered-Settling Column For Size/Density Separations (eeb51044-0a67-41e8-bffc-df0c61bb5384)

Hindered settling columns are used throughout the minerals industry for both size and density separations. In this study, the performance of a continuous, laboratory-scale hindered-settling column was evaluated for various particle systems. The test variables included solids composition, water rate, and column height column performance was evaluated using partition curves and corresponding performance parameters.
