1. Cleaner pump has two slurry streams discharge. Cleaner 1 stream has a flowrate of 5.0 m3/h and contains 52% solids. Cleaner 2 stream has a flowrate of 3.3 m3/h and contains 55% solids. Density of solids is 3000 kg/m3. a. Calculate the tonnage of dry solids pumped per hour (t/h) per stream. b. Weighted average of Cu and Au of Cleaner Assay given that Cleaner 1 has an assay grade of 23.65% Cu, 45.2 g/t Au. Cleaner 2 has an assay grade of 25.83% and 42.8 g/t Au.

Question
Transcribed Image Text:1. Cleaner pump has two slurry streams
discharge. Cleaner 1 stream has a flowrate of 5.0
m3/h and contains 52% solids. Cleaner 2 stream has
a flowrate of 3.3 m3/h and contains 55% solids.
Density of solids is 3000 kg/m3.
a. Calculate the tonnage of dry solids pumped per
hour (t/h) per stream.
b. Weighted average of Cu and Au of Cleaner
Assay given that Cleaner 1 has an assay grade of
23.65% Cu, 45.2 g/t Au. Cleaner 2 has an assay
grade of 25.83% and 42.8 g/t Au.
c. Compute Au and Cu head/feed grade given that
concentration ratio is 85 and recovery is 80%Cu and
78% Au.
