Abstract
J. L. Shiely Company has contracted the Natural Resources
Research Institute (NRRI) to conduct pilot-plant studies to confirm
previous laboratory tests on the classification of minus 3/8-inch
material from the Larson Quarry, and to develop the equipment
requirements for a commercial plant. In addition NRRI was asked to
conduct preliminary tests on a minus 3/32-inch product to determine
if this finer feed could be treated in the same equipment as the
minus 3/8-inch feed. The pilot-plant tests confirmed the laboratory
predictions as to product size and weight recovery. The minus 200-
mesh portion of the material supplied for the pilot-plant tests had
a much slower settling rate than the previous material which
necessitated the use of a flucculent to produce a recycleable thickener
overflow. While a successful flocculent was found it may not be the
most cost effective and others should be tested. The pilot-plant
tests showed that the classification is relatively insensitive to
feed rate or percent solids as long as the sand carrying capacity
of the machine has not been exceeded.
