Read MoreAdditionally, iron ore processing facilities often receive ores from various sources (such as satellite pits) with different qualities. These ores may be treated by different processing routes and/or blended to meet product specifications. Some examples of different iron ore crushing and screening flowsheets are provided below: 8.2.3.1.
Read MoreYield = good units produced at a process step / total unit going into the process step. Yield = 1 – p. So (1 – p) is the percentage of units that complete a sub process, or a part or a process step meeting quality guideline, without being scrapped, re-tested or reworked. So, if you have more than one process step or more than one part to ...
