Abstract
Hindered-settling columns are used throughout the minerals industry for bot h size an density separations. In this study, the performance of a continuo us laboratory-scale hindered-settling column was evaluated for various part icle systems. The test variables included solids composition, water rate an d column height. Column performance was evaluated using partition curves an d corresponding performance parameters.
