An eddy current separator is to separate aluminum product from an input streamshredded MSW. The feed rate to the separator is 2,500 kg/hr. The feed is known to contain174 kg of aluminum and 2,326 kg of reject. After operating for 1 hour, a total of 256 kg ofmaterials is collected in the product stream. On close inspection, it is found that 140 kg ofproduct is aluminum. Estimate the % recovery of aluminum product and the % purity of thealuminum produc

the % recovery of aluminum product is 80.5%

the % purity of the aluminum product is 54.7%

Explanation:

feed rate to separator = 2500 kg/hr

in one hour, there will be 2500 kg/hr x 1 hr = 2500 kg of material is fed into the  machine

of this 2500 kg, the feed is known to contain 174 kg of aluminium and 2326 kg of rejects.

After the separation, 256 kg  is collected in the product stream.

of this 256 kg, 140 kg is aluminium.

% recovery of aluminium will be = mass of aluminium in material collected in the product stream ÷ mass of aluminium contained in the feed material

% recovery of aluminium = 140kg/174kg x 100% = 80.5%

% purity of the aluminium product = mass of aluminium in final product ÷ total mass of product collected in product stream

% purity of the aluminium product = 140kg/256kg

x 100% = 54.7%
