jaw crusher
THEORY:
Size reduction equipments are classified into,
1) Coarse crusher 2) Intermediate crusher 3) Fine grinders and Ultra fine grinders.
Jaw crusher is a slow speed crushing machines used for coarse crushing and reduction
of large lumps of very hard materials. The mechanism of crushing involves two steps.
Opening up and small cracks present followed by formation of new surface area.
The feed of jaw crusher is admitted between two jaws set at a opening at top. In a
jaw crusher, the particles are compressed to reduce them in size. The crushing laws used
to calculate power for size reduction are Kicks law, Rittingers law and bonds law.
FORMULAE:

AIM:
To determine the Angle of Nip, Power consumption, Reduction Ratio, Theoretical
Capacity and Actual capacity of the crusher operating at the given speed.
THEORY:
Two heavy smooth rolls turning on parallel horizontal axes are the
working element of the roller crusher. Particle fed are caught between the rolls and
broken. They are used for feed size to 3 and product size of to 20 mesh. To
allow unbreakable material to pass through without damaging the machine atleast one of
the rolls should be spring mounted. The rolls have narrow faces and larger diameter and
turn towards each other with same speed. The particle size depends upon the distance
between the rolls and the capacity of the given machine. Smooth roll crusher have few
fines and virtually no over size. The angle of nip is the angle between the roll faces at the
level where the particle enters the crushing zone.

BALL MILL
EXPT.NO:03
DATE
AIM:
To find the (a) New surface area created (b) Critical speed of the ball mill
THEORY:
A ball mill is a low speed machine used for fine grinding. In operation the balls
are picked up by the mill wall and carried near to the top where they break contact with
the wall and fall back to the bottom to provide impact. Centrifugal force keeps the ball in
contact with the wall. Most of the grinding takes place at the zone of impact and some by
slipping & rolling against each other by attrition.
If the speed is too high, the balls are carried over along the mill walls and the mill
is said to be centrifuging. The speed at which centrifuging starts is called critical speed.
Little or no grinding occurs at this condition, hence the operating speed of the mill should
be less than the critical speed. Cascading refers to rolling of the balls from the top to the
bottom of the load. Catracting refers to the throwing of the balls through the air to the top
of the heap.
FORMULAE:
The specific surface area of the feed and the product are calculated using the
following relation;
By differential analysis, AW = [ 6 / (s p ) ] [ n / Dpn]
By cumulative analysis, AW = [ 6 / (s p ) ] [ n / Dpn]
Critical speed, Nc
12
=(1/2) [g / (R r)]1/2
PROCEDURE:
The radius of the ball and ball mill was measured and the critical speed of the ball
mill is calculated. The feed material is differentially and cumulatively analysed & the
specific surface area is found out. 1 kg of the feed material is fed to the ball mill along
with the grinding media. The mill is run for half an hour and at the end of the crushing
the surface area of the product is found out by differential and cumulative analysis. New
surface area created is found out using the above data.

SIEVE ANALYSIS AND SCREEN EFFECTIVENESS

EXPT.NO:04
DATE
AIM:
a) To determine the average particle diameter of the sample by differential &
cumulative analysis.
b) To determine the effectiveness of a screen by analyzing feed, oversize and
undersize for the given sample.
THEORY:
Sieve analysis is one of the most important operation for determining the size of
the material. The standard screens normally in practice are;
i)
Tyler Standard Series (TSS)
ii)
American Society for Testing Machine series (ASTM)
iii)
British Standard Screen analysis (BSS)
Testing sieves are made of wire screens, the mesh & dimensions are carefully
standardized. The set of screens is based on the opening of the 200-mesh screen,
which is
established at 0.074mm. The area of openings in one screen is exactly 2 times that of
the openings in the next smaller screen.
Effectiveness of a screen is method of the success of a screen in closely separating
materials A & B. A common measure of screen effectiveness is the ratio of oversize
material that is actually in the feed. Similarly the effectiveness based on B is defined
as the ratio of mass of B in the underflow to the amount of B entering the feed.
17
FORMULAE:
Surface volume mean diameter (Dvs) :By differential analysis, Dvs = 1 / [ n / Dpn]
By cumulative analysis, Dvs = 1 / [ n / Dpn]
Screen effectiveness can be derived by doing a material balance over a given
screen and represented by
E = (XF - XB ) XD (XD - XF ) ( 1 - XB ) / (XD - XB )2 XF ( 1 XF )
Where;
XF
= Mass fraction of material A in feed
XD
= Mass fraction of material A in overflow
XB
= Mass fraction of material A in underflow
( 1 XF )
= Mass fraction of material B in feed
( 1 XD )
= Mass fraction of material B in overflow
( 1 XB )
= Mass fraction of material B in underflow
PROCEDURE:
500 grams of sand is weighed accurately. It is screened using a set of sieves in
sieve shaker for 15 minutes; for analyzing the feed. The overflow and underflow of the
sieve for which the effectiveness is to be determined is taken and analyzed separately. A
graph is plotted between 1 / D pn and n for feed to determine Dvs by cumulative analysis
and n Vs Dpn for differential analysis determination. Another plot of n Vs Dpn is drawn
for underflow, overflow and feed to get the values of X F, XD and XB. From these three
values the effectiveness of the screen is calculated.

DATE
AIM:
To determine the specific cake resistance and filter medium resistance Rm using
a plate and frame filter press.
THEORY:
A more satisfactory and more versatile type of filter is the plate and
frame filter press. It is made up of solid plates and hollow frames assembled alternatively
and filter cloths are kept on either side of the frame. During initial filtration slurry at
constant pressure introduced to hollow frame. The filtrate passes through the filter cloth
and forms a bed between frames. When filtration is continued further, filtrate passes
through the filter cloth and is collected in the filtrate tank. Plate and frame filter is a batch
filter and used when the cost of labour per unit volume of product is quiet low. Kozeny
Carman equation is used for filtration equipments.

CYCLONE SEPERATOR
EXPT.NO:06
DATE
AIM:
a) To find separation efficiency and frictional loss of the given cyclone separator.
b) To draw a graph between efficiency and pressure drop.
THEORY:
The cyclone separator is based on the principle of settling with accelerated
centrifugal force. At any point ion the cyclone there are three components of velocity
namely; a) radial component which acts inward. b) Tangential component which
predominates throughout the depth near the walls. c) Axial component which acts away
from the gas inlet near the wall and towards the central cone where a low pressure and
highly turbulent exists. Any particle will subject to two forces along the radial direction.
The centrifugal force tends to throw it towards the wall but the drag force helps the fluid
to carry away the particles. Both these forces are function of radius of rotation and the
size of particle. Radial acceleration is given by a c= wr2=bn/rn , where b and n are constants
and the value of exponent n lies between 2 and 2.4.

DATE :
AIM:
To find the particle size distribution and the average size of the particles.
THEORY:
Beaker decantation is a method used for finding the size of the powder sample to
separate the mixture of particles into different size ranges; settling principle is used. The
movement of particles through the fluid requires the density difference between the
particles and the fluid medium. Greater the difference, more effective will be the
separation process. Homogenous materials are separated on the basis of their sizes. The
settling of particles is assumed to be free settling and it falls under Stokes region.

PROCEDURE:

, 30, 30/(2)0.5 microns and the corresponding
terminal settling velocities and the settling time are calculated. The slurry is stirred well
and the stopwatch is started just when stirring is stopped.
The slurry is allowed to settle for the calculated time of 60 micron particles. Then
the slurry is decanted into the next beaker leaving the settled solids at the bottom. The
slurry is made up to the level by adding water. The above mentioned procedure is
repeated for different sizes. The settled solids are filtered individually for various sizes in
previously weighed filter papers, dried, weighed again to get the different rough weights

AIM:
To determine the specific cake resistance and filter medium resistance Rm using a

THEORY:
Filtration is the removal of solid particle from slurry by passing it through a filter
medium on which solids are deposited and the filtrate allowed to pass through. The
deposited solid on the filter cloth from a packed bed and the filtrate flows through the
pores is assumed to be in the laminar range and Kozeny- Carman equation is used. It is a
batch filter and is used in the same manner as that of using vacuum. The specific cake

BATCH SEDIMENTATION
EXPT.NO:10
DATE :
Aim:
To determine the minimum area of a Continuous Thickener required
concentrating a feed of 4% CaCO3 slurry at a rate of 150 tons / day of dry solids to give
an
underflow concentration of 50 % by carrying out the Batch Sedimentation.
Apparatus required:
Batch sedimentation setup, stop watch, calcium carbonate.
Theory:
Sedimentation is a separation process by which a dilute slurry is divided
into a clear liquid and a slurry of high solid concentration by settling. When the particles
are at sufficient distance from the boundaries of the container and from other particles, so
that it falls without being affected, then it is called hindered settling.
For low Reynolds number the drag force on the particle obeys Stokes law.
The law is valid at low velocities when the particle moves through the fluid by deforming
it. The wall shear is the result of viscous forces only. In gravitational settling g is
constant and drag increases with velocity, acceleration decreases with time and
approaches zero. The particle then reaches a constant velocity called the terminal
velocity.
It shows a newly prepared slurry having uniform concentration throughout
the cylinder. As the process begins, the particles settle down. Different zones of varying
conc. are shown in fig. Zone D consists of heavier faster settling particles, zone C is
called the transition layer consisting of variable size distribution and non uniform conc.
This layer presents are channels through which fluid rises upward and particles settle
down. Zone B is of uniform concentration. Zone A the topmost layer is of clear liquid. As
sedimentation progresses, zone A and D grow larger at the expense of Zone B. A point is
reached when Zone B and C disappear as critical point. At this stage, the solids present in
these layers splint out into the clear zone. When the force of compression is equal to the
weight of solid particles, then settling process stops.
Procedure:
1. Prepare a 4% CaCO3 slurry by taking exact amount of dry sample into a beaker.
2. Add a minimum amount of water and transfer the contents to a graduated
cylinder.
3. Make up the level by adding water up to the mark.
4. Stir the slurry constantly in a vertical manner until the concentration is uniform
throughout the cylinder.
5. Take out the stirrer and start the stop clock.

6. Note down the time for each centimeter traveled by the particles.
7. Measure the height by using a scale fixed to the side of the cylinder.
8. For about half the length, note the time for every one centimeter.
