Physical and Aerodynamic Properties of Lateritic Mineral for use in Pneumatic Transport
Abstract
To carry out the mathematical modeling and achieve greater efficiency in the pneumatic transport systems of the lateritic mineral, in this work the physical and aerodynamic properties that have the greatest influence on the transport are determined. The correlation of the flotation speed and the resistance coefficient as a function of the diameter and moisture content of the particles is established using experimental techniques. The density of the particles, apparent density and granulometric composition of the material are also determined. It was experimentally confirmed that the flotation speed reaches a maximum value of 5.42 m/s for the largest particle diameter present in the samples. The apparent density takes a value of 1.0683 g/cm3 and the density of the particles is 3.0269 g/cm3.
