Abstract

Experimental work has been conducted on industrial-scale wet comminution devices and hydrocyclone classifiers to investigate the effects of slurry rheology on their performance. Grinding performance is shown to be influenced not only by the absolute value of apparent viscosity and an inferred yield stress, but also by the rheological type of the discharge slurry. A new empirical model of the hydrocyclone incorporating slurry viscosity has been developed. Simulation has shown the effect of increased viscosity on cyclone performance to be generally deleterious.
