How To Determine Percent Recovery

The prototype above represents percentage recovery.

To compute for percent recovery, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Weight Recovered of Concentrate (C), Assay of Concentrate (c), Weight of Feed (F) and Assay of Feed (f).

The formula for calculating percent recovery:

%R = 100(^Cc / _Ff)

Where:

%R = Percentage Recovery
C = Weight Recovered of Concentrate
c = Assay of Concentrate
F = Weight of Feed
f = Assay of Feed

Allow's solve an example;
Detect the percentage recovery when the weight recovered of concentrate is four, the analysis of concentrate is viii, the weight of feed is 2 and the assay of feed is vi.

This implies that;

C = Weight Recovered of Concentrate = 4
c = Assay of Concentrate = viii
F = Weight of Feed = 2
f = Analysis of Feed = 6

%R = 100(^Cc / _Ff)
%R = 100(⁽⁴⁾⁽⁸⁾ / ₍₂₎₍₆₎)
%R = 100(³² / ₁₂)
%R = 100(two.66)
%R = 266.vi

Therefore, the percent recovery is 266.6%.
