Summary:Parameters of heterogeneous working fluid in magnetic-gravity, gravity and flotation machines are studied using methods of computational fluid dynamics. Numerical modeling of separation processes allowed graphical and numerical characterization of separation. The article bases suggestions on improvement of the designs of gravity and magnetic-gravity processing equipment and offers an approach to evaluating surface energy of mineral particles in flotation modeling.
