The Possibility of Replacement of Hydrocyclone D6 instand of D10 for Propose of Increasing of Recovery in Production Line at Chadermaloo Iron Ore Company, Iran

The aim of this study was to know the possibility of replacement of slim hydro cyclone D6 in stand of hydro-cyclones DI0 in the production line of Chadermaloo iron ore. In order to increasing recovery of hyderocyclones a series of test were carried out with apex 22 and 40 for
hydrocyclone of D6 and D10 respectively. It was notice that the cutoff of D6 was less than DI O. The best result was obtained from test apex D I 0=apercD6= 40mm.

The difference between cut off these two cyclones were more then 2.5 micron. In addition the amount of overflow west was 7.5 % less in composition with D10. The result showed that under similar condition the separation cutoff and overflow waste reduces significantly.
