CIRCULATING LOAD:

These calculations of the percent circulating load are based on two methods using the:

1) Percent solid or pulp densities around the cyclone (or Percent dilution = mass of water ÷ mass of solid × 100)
2) Percent passing a selected screen around the cyclone.

Metallurgical.App

To use:
✅Enter the feed, overflow and underflow percent solids or percent dilution (method 1).
✅Enter the selected screen percent passing for the feed, overflow and underflow (method 2).
✅Click on "Calculate" to calculate the percent circulating load.
✅Scroll down to see the result.
An example can be seen on this Youtube video.



Method 1: Using percent solid (or percent dilution):

Cyclone feed:



Cyclone overflow:
Cyclone underflow:


Method 2: Using percent passing for a selected screen:

Percent passing for cyclone feed (%):
Percent passing for cyclone underflow:
Percent passing for cyclone overflow:
