A Framework for Understanding and Applying the Reflux Classifier in Fine Particle Beneficiation

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The Reflux Classifier is a novel Australian technology that is re-defining what is possible in the field of gravity separation across the mining industry. This new research aims to focus on a critical gap in the knowledge, concerned with the powerful internal synergies that exist between the particle-fluid hydrodynamics of the lower fluidised bed and the upper system of inclined channels. The technology has already delivered nearly $1 billion in economic benefit, solving previously intractable problems. Through an experimental and theoretical study a new framework for understanding and applying this technology in fine particle beneficiation across an increasingly diverse range of applications is intended to be established.
