- Two materials, A and B, are to be separated using two unit operations, 1 and 2. The feed has 10 tons/h A and 4 tons/h B. The split (fraction of material rejected by each operation) is given in Table P5-14. a. Which sequence of operations, (l?2) or (2?1), will yield the greatest recovery of material A? b. What will be the purity of material A using that sequence? c. What will be the efficiency of separation for the entire process train with regard to material A using the Worrell-Stesed equation?arrow_forwardAll about Solid and Liquid Wastearrow_forwardCalculate the number of bags required for a shaker baghouse for removal of gypsum with the following process information and bag dimensions.
