Mathematical models of particle size distribution (PSD) are necessary in the modelling and simulation of comminution circuits. In order to evaluate the application of the Swebrec PSD model (SWEF) in the grinding circuit at the Punta Gorda Ni-Co plant, a sampling campaign was carried out with variations in the operating parameters. Subsequently, the fitting of the data to the Gates-Gaudin-Schumann (GGS), Rosin-Rammler (RRS) and SWEF PSD functions was evaluated under statistical criteria. The fitting of the evaluated distribution models showed that these functions are characterized as being sufficiently accurate, as the estimation error does not exceed 3.0% in any of the cases. In the particular case of the Swebrec function, reproducibility for all the products is high. Furthermore, its estimation error does not exceed 2.7% in any of the cases, with a correlation coefficient of the ratio between experimental and simulated data greater than 0.99.

This study is about the particle retention and filtration characteristics of fibre filter. Four laboratory scale fibre filters with different heights were used in parallel at various packing densities and filtration velocities. Of all of the operating parameters studied, filtration velocity had the most influence. Contrary to general theories, pressure drop increases slightly during the filtration in spite of the continuous retention of particles. This may have occurred because of large porosity of the packing (about 93%). This might be considered an advantage of the filter and something that makes it economic. The higher the filtration velocity, the larger the mass of particles retained in the filter. For filtration velocities of 20 and 40 m/h, particles smaller than 5 μm are retained as proven by the particle size distribution at the inlet and outlet.

Suspended particle size is one of the main factors which affect the performance of the microfiltration. Experimental results with bi and trimodal suspensions of latex particles clearly showed that the permeate flux and the quality were significantly affected by the particle size and its distribution, especially when the particle size was smaller than the pore size of the membrane.
