When two screens are used for screening, the material that retained on the second
screen is called the intermediate material.
46 In screen analysis, notation +5 mm/-10 mm means passing through
a. 5 mm screen and retained on 10 mm screen
b. 10 mm screen and retained on 5 mm screen
c. both 5 mm and 10 mm screens
d. neither 5 mm and 10 mm screens
Oversize (plus) materials are those that fail to pass through the screen and
undersize (minus) materials are those that pass through.
47 A screen is said to be blinded when
a. oversize are present in undersize fraction
b. undersize are retained in the oversize fraction
c. the screen is plugged with solid particles
d. its capacity is abruptly increased
PARTICULATES TECHNOLOGY

Blinding occurs when materials are plugged in the screen opening which causes
the screen effectiveness to decrease.
48 Cumulative Analysis for determining surface is more precise than differential analysis
because of the
a. assumption that all particles in single fraction are equal in size
b. fact that screening is more effective
c. assumption that all particles in single fraction are equal in size is not needed
d. all of the above
In cumulative analysis, the assumption of “all particles in a single fraction are
equal in size” is not required.
49 It defines the effective membrane area installed per volume of a module.
a. osmotic pressure b. water flux c. solid flux d. packing density
Packing density is the effective membrane area installed per volume of a module.
50 Trommels separate a mixture of particles depending on their
a. size b. wetability c. screen size d. AOTA
Trommels or also called revolving screens. Screening is the separation of
materials on the basis of size.
