Mechanica! Ore Concentration and Separation—No. 24.
{Written forthe Paxas by Fraxcis M. F. Cazix, ME,
Santa Fe, New Mexico. .
I have thus designated all that should be
gathered for treatment in the shape of slimes in
all mineral dressing establishments, and this
collection should invariably be effected, whether
further mechanical separation or direct reduction be subsequently applied. It is here befitting to describe the mode of collecting slimes
out of water. They may be collected and passed
into further treatment as pulp, or the yep may
be allowed to dry, as it readily does in dry chmates within a very short space of time, without the help of fire and heat.
In case 0} , direct reduction by roasting, otc.,
the dry and solid pulp requires a squeezing,
affected. beat by piles, Voven hard wooden ones
are adaptable,) in order to recover the state of
powder or dust.
Introductory to the description of the collecting apparatus, 1 must draw the reader's attention to a material modification of action, the
result of practice, which takes place in treating
slimes, from what is invariably maintained in
treating the coarser sizes. Coarser sizes, without any exception whatever, are firat thoroughly
classified by size and then separated by quality.
For finer sizes (slimes) this course would be also
correct if it were feasible to the same full extent; but screens will not classify below a certain size, say one-third of a millimeter, and
therefore other means of classitivation must be
resorted to. These means are the exposure of
the particles to the effect of a horizontal water
stream.
Such streams can be made to classify material
of equal specific gravity to perfection. Thus
quartz particles ao classitied may be collected in
lots of perfectly equal sizes, but if amongst the
ee of quartz there are heavier particles,
‘or instance of galena, then smaller particles of
galena will be gathered with larger particles of
quartz (one-eightieth inch particle of galena
will gather with one-twentieth inch particle of
quartz, and other sizes in the same proportion).
Such particles of different material, which will
simultaneously fall or be kept in suspense or be
deposited in an upward vertical stream of water,
are called ‘‘ equal falling,” and the action being
‘certainly in part, and evidently the predominant
part, that of classificati is idered in
practice as such. Thus the difference is constituted between 1
1, Classitication by screens, and
2. Classification by streams of liquid (or air).
The collecting apparatus now to be described
is also and at the same time a classifier of the
second class, The subsequent action of separation varies according to the previous mode of
classification.
In Number 10 of this series, alluded to before, we have stated the principles on which
separation is based when classification of the
first mode is applied, and hereafter we also will
find the proper place to state the mode of operation for separating material classified by the
second mode.
