=== Efficiency curve ===
 
Mwale et al. (2016) proposed a phenomenological model of fine wet screening where the partition to oversize, <math>E_{i{\rm o}}</math> (frac), is related to properties of both the screen and the feed:{{Mwale et al. (2016)}}
 
:<math>E_{i{\rm o}} = \exp \left [ - \dfrac{A_{\rm o} K}{F_{\rm f} s \left ( \dfrac{\bar d_i}{a} \right)^\alpha} \right ] + \dfrac{\delta . F_{\rm f}}{100(1-s)} \left [ \exp \left ( - \dfrac{\bar d_i}{a} \right ) \right ]^\alpha</math>
 
where:
* <math>A_{\rm o}</math> is the total screen open area (m<sup>2</sup>)
* <math>F_{\rm f}</math> is the solids feed rate (t/h)
* <math>s</math> is the mass fraction of solids in the feed (w/w)
* <math>x_{\rm a}</math> is the aperture size (mm)
* <math>\bar d_{i}</math> is the [[Conversions|geometric mean size]] of the size interval <math>i</math> (mm)
* <math>K</math> is the kinetic constant (t/hr.m<sup>2</sup>)
* <math>\alpha</math> is the sharpness of separation parameter (-)
* <math>\delta</math> is the fines bypass parameter (h/t)
 
=== Sharpness constant ===
 
Mwale et al. (2018) suggest the following equation to estimate the sharpness constant, <math>\alpha</math>, as a function of screen design and feed conditions:{{Mwale et al. (2018)}}
 
:<math>\alpha = k_1 \left ( \dfrac{{\rho_{\rm p}}^2 F_{\rm f} {A_{\rm o}}^{3.5}}{\mu a^2 {M_{\rm u}}^2} \right ) + k_2 \left ( \dfrac{A_{\rm o}}{a^2} \right ) + k_3</math>
 
where:
* <math>\rho_{\rm p}</math> is the density of the feed slurry (t/m<sup>3</sup>)
* <math>M_{\rm u}</math> is the mass flow rate of particles in the feed which are smaller than the aperture (t/h)
* <math>k_1</math>, <math>k_2</math> and <math>k_3</math> are coefficients of the sharpness equation
 
The apparent viscosity of slurry in the feed, <math>\mu</math> (Pa.s), is estimated by the classical Krieger-Dougherty (1959) equation:{{Krieger and Dougherty (1959)}}
 
:<math>\mu = \mu_{\rm 0} \left ( 1 - \dfrac{\phi_{\rm Eff}}{\phi_{\rm m}} \right)^{-k \phi_{\rm m}}</math>
 
where:
* <math>\mu_0</math> is the viscosity of the carrier fluid, i.e. water (Pa.s)
* <math>\phi_{\rm m}</math> is maximum packing fraction of particles (v/v), assumed to be 0.64
* <math>k</math> is a particle shape constant, assumed to be 2.5
 
The sharpness constant can be specified directly as the value of coefficient <math>k_3</math> when coefficients <math>k_1</math> and <math>k_2</math> are set to zero.
 
=== Bypass constant ===
 
Mwale et al. (2018) suggest the following simple linear relationship to estimate the bypass constant, <math>\delta</math>,:{{Mwale et al. (2018)}}
 
:<math>\delta = C_1.F_{\rm f} + C_2.s + C_3.x_{\rm a} + C_4</math>
 
where <math>C_1-C_4</math> are coefficients of the bypass equation.
 
The bypass constant can be specified directly as the value of coefficient <math>C_4</math> when coefficients <math>C_1-C_3</math> are set to zero.

Description

This article describes an implementation of the Mwale et al. (2016) model for fine wet screening.[1]

Model theory

Efficiency curve

Mwale et al. (2016) proposed a phenomenological model of fine wet screening where the partition to oversize, (frac), is related to properties of both the screen and the feed:[1]

where:

  • is the total screen open area (m2)
  • is the solids feed rate (t/h)
  • is the mass fraction of solids in the feed (w/w)
  • is the aperture size (mm)
  • is the geometric mean size of the size interval (mm)
  • is the kinetic constant (t/hr.m2)
  • is the sharpness of separation parameter (-)
  • is the fines bypass parameter (h/t)

Sharpness constant

Mwale et al. (2018) suggest the following equation to estimate the sharpness constant, , as a function of screen design and feed conditions:[2]

where:

  • is the density of the feed slurry (t/m3)
  • is the mass flow rate of particles in the feed which are smaller than the aperture (t/h)
  • , and are coefficients of the sharpness equation

The apparent viscosity of slurry in the feed, (Pa.s), is estimated by the classical Krieger-Dougherty (1959) equation:[3]

where:

  • is the viscosity of the carrier fluid, i.e. water (Pa.s)
  • is maximum packing fraction of particles (v/v), assumed to be 0.64
  • is a particle shape constant, assumed to be 2.5

The sharpness constant can be specified directly as the value of coefficient when coefficients and are set to zero.

Bypass constant

Mwale et al. (2018) suggest the following simple linear relationship to estimate the bypass constant, ,:[2]

where are coefficients of the bypass equation.

The bypass constant can be specified directly as the value of coefficient when coefficients are set to zero.

Excel

The Mwale fine wet screen model may be invoked from the Excel formula bar with the following function call: 

=mdUnit_Screen_Mwale(Parameters as Range, Size as Range, Feed as Range, OreSG as Range)

Invoking the function with no arguments will print Help text associated with the model, including a link to this page.

Inputs

The required inputs are defined below in matrix notation with elements corresponding to cells in Excel row () x column () format:


where:

  • is the number of size intervals
  • is the size of the square mesh interval that feed mass is retained on (mm)
  • , i.e. descending size order from top size () to sub mesh ( mm)
  • is the number of ore types
  • is feed solids mass flow rate by size and ore type (t/h)
  • is the mass flow feed rate of liquids in the feed (t/h)
  • is the density of solids in the feed (t/m3)
  • is the density of liquids in the feed (t/m3)

Results

The results are displayed in Excel as an array corresponding to the matrix notation below:


where:

  • is the efficiency of undersize removal achieved by the screen (frac)
  • is mass flow rate of solids to the oversize stream (t/h)
  • is mass flow rate of solids to the undersize stream (t/h)

Example

The images below show the selection of input arrays and output results in the Excel interface.

SysCAD

The sections and variable names used in the SysCAD interface are described in detail in the following tables.

Note that a Deck and Partition page is provided provided for each connected oversize discharge stream.

Tag Display This name tag may be modified with the change tag option.
Condition Display OK if no errors/warnings, otherwise lists errors/warnings.
ConditionCount Display The current number of errors/warnings. If condition is OK, returns 0.
GeneralDescription / GenDesc Display This is an automatically generated description for the unit. If the user has entered text in the 'EqpDesc' field on the Info tab (see below), this will be displayed here.

If this field is blank, then SysCAD will display the unit class ID.

Requirements
On CheckBox This enables the unit. If this box is not checked, then the MassFracToOS option appears below.
MassFracToOS Input Only appears if the On field above is not checked. Specifies the fraction of feed mass that reports to the overflow stream when the model is off.

Additional notes

  • Solid species that do not possess a particle size distribution property are split according to the overall mass split of the default particle size distribution species selected in the SysCAD Project Configuration.
  • If the default particle size distribution species is not present in the unit feed, the overall split of all other species with particle size distributions combined is used, as determined by the model.
  • Gas phase species report directly to the undersize stream without split.
