Other characteristic is that operate at sleeper inclines producing a drier product.
2) What are the main advantages of cyclones?
2) ¿Cuáles son las principales ventajas de los ciclones?
The main adventages are that they have large capacities relative to their size and can separate at
their sizes than most other screening and classification equipment.
3) What units are simple in design but often inefficient in sorting and sizing?
¿Qué unidades son de diseño sencillo pero a menudo ineficaz en la clasificación y
dimensionamiento?
Are Sedimentation and hydraulic classifiers
4) Why is a spiral classifier generally preferred? Give 1 reason
¿Por qué se prefiere generalmente un clasificador espiral? Dé 1 razón
The spiral classifier is preferred because produces less turbulence in the settling pool allowing for
separation of finer material.
5) When can the separation and concentration of the valuable mineral take place?

8) Name 1 characteristic of the shaking tables
Nombre 1 característica de las mesas vibratorias
A characteristic is that the shaking tables is use in concentrating gold but are also used in the
recovery of tin and tungsten minerals
Other characteristic is that the water is added to the top of the table perpendicular to the table
motion.
9) What is the separation method based on the surface chemistry properties of a mineral
used
¿Cuál es el método de separación basado en las propiedades de la química de superficie de un
mineral utilizado
This method is the Froth Flotation
10) What are the three main types of surfactants used in flotation= Name one characteristic
for each one of them
¿Cuáles son los tres tipos principales de tensioactivos usados en la flotación = Nombre una
característica para cada uno de ellos
Are collectors, frothers, and modifier
The collectors are They are polar reagents with a metal ion on one end joined by an organic ion at
the other end or That dissolves or ionizes in water
The frother are concentrate at the air-water interface
The modifier are used to vary slurry and mineral conditions to assist in the selective flotation of
minerals.
