Tabling process used for separating two materials of different densities by passing the dilute pulp over a table/deck, which is inclined from the horizontal surface at an angle of about________________?

Correct answer: B. 2 to 5°

  • A. 1 to 2°
  • B. 2 to 5°
  • C. 5 to 10°
  • D. 10 to 15°

Explanation

A concentrating table is normally set at a small inclination, commonly about 2 to 5°, so the flowing water and shaking action can separate particles according to density. A steeper angle would increase transport and reduce effective separation.
