Optimization of A Jigging Process Using Statistical Technique

摘要

The jigging studies of a synthetic binary mixture of quartz and coal were carried out. The variables studied were the particle size, bed thickness, number of strokes per minute, and water level. Experiments were carried out using 24 full factorial design. The main and interaction effects on quartz recovery were evaluated using Yates' analysis. The optimum jigging condition was found by the method of steepest ascent. A product with 81.81% quartz and 97.74% recovery in the lower layer was obtained at the following optimum conditions: particle size of 3.907Â mm, bed thickness of 1.87Â cm, water level of 4.41Â cm, and 234.3 strokes per minute.View full textDownload full textKeywordsFactorial analysis, Harz jig, Interaction effect, t-test, Yates' analysisRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/19392699.2010.549383
