Description
Short description:
Learn to distinguish particle separation methods through applied material processing examples.
Long description:
This module provides an in-depth exploration of screening and classification processes used to separate particles based on size in mineral processing operations. Learners will analyse the principles behind mechanical screening and hydraulic classification, including equipment types, operating parameters, and performance factors. Through interactive process simulations and applied scenarios, participants will examine how particle size distribution is controlled and optimised for downstream efficiency. Activities and knowledge checks support the evaluation of separation efficiency, throughput, and process limitations. By the end of the module, learners will be able to select and justify appropriate screening and classification methods for different processing contexts. This module builds on comminution knowledge and supports effective material handling within mineral processing workflows.
