Engineering planning checklist

Flotation Plant Mass Balance

Complete mass balance from slurry density through to concentrate and tailings production.

Use as a checklist, not an automated design workflow. Complete and verify each calculation independently. Only explicit carry-forward links move a compatible value; all other inputs remain your responsibility.

What this workflow covers

Complete mass balance from slurry density through to concentrate and tailings production.

This 4-step checklist is intended for process engineer. Confirm each linked calculator's units, formula, assumptions and operating limits before using the result in a project decision.

Checklist progress0 of 4 steps checked
Sequence Execution
1

Slurry Density & Concentration

Calculate slurry bulk density, specific gravity, percent solids by weight (Cw), and percent solids by volume (Cv).

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Slurry Density & Concentration.
2

Two-Product Mass Balance

Calculate concentrate recovery, yield, and stream mass flow rates from feed (f), concentrate (c), and tailings (t) assays.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Two-Product Mass Balance.
3

Grade & Recovery Balance Check

Scope-limited calculation

Check mass pull and separation efficiency using a measured recovery at the selected concentrate grade.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Grade & Recovery Balance Check.
4

Concentrate & Tailings Production Rate

Determine daily, monthly, and annual concentrate and tailings solids tonnages from plant feed capacity.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Concentrate & Tailings Production Rate.
