Question 4
Dundee Precious Metal Tsumeb (DPMT) copper smelter is working on a slurry pumping system design. In this case, a pump is fed with two streams of a slurry. Stream 1 has a slurry at a flowrate of 5.0m³/h and the pulp contains 40% solids by weight. Stream 2 has a pulp volumetric flowrate of 3.4m³/h and it has 55% solids by weight. As a design engineer for the slurry pumping system, calculate the tonnage of dry solids pumped per hour.
