I
have a question about converting Solids concentartion by precent
volume to Solids concentration by precent weight.
in a mineral processing problem we were given the solid
concentration by precent weight and and asked to convert it to
solid concentartion by precent volume as following:
55% w/w (given)
SG = 2.95
assuming we have 100 g of solids
we found first the volume of the solids that way:
Vs = [(100g*(55/100))/2.95] = 18.64407
then we found the volume of water which is:
Vw = 100*(100-(55/100))= 45
and using that we found the solid concentration by volume to
be:
V/v %= [18.64407/(18.64407+45)]*100 = 29.29
now my question is how do we find the solid concnetration by
wieght is we were just given the solid concentartion by volume and
the SG solids and assuming we have 100g?
becuase I was given a question with just a solid conentration
of volume (30%) and SG solids (2.8) and asked to find the solid
concentration of weight which is the opposite of the above problem
but didn't know how to do that. so, please see the above approach
and based on that you should find the concentration by
volume.
Note: this is all the information given and my profosser told
me to follow the above problem in order to solve this one. So,
please if you don't know the aswer don't say missing information
because this is all I got.
