Abstract

The technological scheme developed to obtain Granate concentrates from the Granatífero Skarn of La Yuca, included the use of fine sieves (0.3, 0.2 and 0.1 mm). The use of these in abrasives grading wet clasification implies a high expenditure of resources, due to the wear suffered by the fine steel wires. The objective of this work is to classify the concentrates by means of columns of hydraulic classification, designed in the Center, using the Stokes law, that defines the speed of a particle fall in the bosom of a fluid. Garnet concentrates are processed below 0.4 mm, obtained by magnetic separation with a purity of 80-95% garnet content. This concentrate is subjected to different velocities of the fluid (water), in order to evaluate the efficiency of the classification by size, to satisfy the granulometric requirements for its use in dental prosthesis cleaning.The results obtained demonstrate the possibility of using this procedure to obtain garnet concentrates of granulometry -0.3 + 0.2 mm and of - 0.2 + 0.1 mm, required by stomatology to treat the metallic structures of these implants.
