Introduction
Industrial sizing is extensively used for size separations from 300 mm down to around 40 m, although the efficiency decreases rapidly with fineness. Dry screening is generally limited to material above about 5 mm in size, while wet screening down to around 250 m is common. Although there are screen types that are capable of efficient size separations down to 40 m, sizing below 250 m is also undertaken by classification

Introduction
The types of screening equipment are many and varied. The main purposes in the minerals industry are: (a) Sizing or Classifying, to separate particles by size, usually to provide a downstream unit process with the particle size range suited to that unit operation; (b)Scalping, to remove the coarsest size fractions in the feed material, usually so that they can be crushed or removed from the process;

Introduction
(c)Grading, to prepare a number of products within specified size ranges. This is important in quarrying and iron ore, where the final product size is an important part of the specification; (d) Media recovery, for washing magnetic media from ore in dense medium circuits; (e) Dewatering, to drain free moisture from a wet sand slurry;

Introduction
(f) Desliming or de-dusting, to remove fine material, generally below 0.5 mm from a wet or dry feed; and (g) Trash removal, usually to remove wood fibres from a fine slurry stream.

Performance of screens
The most common screen performance criteria are those which define an efficiency based on the recovery of material at a given size, or on the mass of misplaced material in each product.

Performance of screens
An efficiency equation can be calculated from a mass balance across a screen as follows: Consider a screen the feed to which is F t h-. Two products are generated. A coarse product of C t h- overflows from the screen, and a fine product of U t h-1 passes through the screen.

Performance of screens
An efficiency or partition curve for a screen is drawn by plotting the partition coefficient, defined as the percentage of the feed reporting to the oversize product, against the geometric mean size on a logarithmic scale. (For particles in the range, say, 8.0 + 6.3 mm, the geometric mean size is v/(8 x 6.3) = 7.1 mm.

Performance of screens
The separation size, or cut point, is obtained at 50% probability, i.e. the size at which a particle has equal chance of reporting to the undersize or oversize product. The cut point is always less than the size of the largest apertures. The efficiency of separation is assessed from the steepness of the curve screen, and can be used for simulation and design purposes (Ferrara and Preti, 1975; Lynch and Narayanan,1986; Napier-Munn et al., 1996).

Factors affecting screen performance


Screen effectiveness must always be coupled with capacity as it is often possible by the use of a low feed rate and a very long screening time to effect an almost complete separation. At a given capacity, the effectiveness depends on the nature of the screening operation, i.e. on the overall chance of a particle passing through the screen once it has reached it.
