We are having a product whose bulk density is 0.6025g/ml and we want to increase it to 0.85g/ml.We have phosphogypsum and dolomite available which are having bulk densities of 1.121g/ml and 0.737g/ml respectively. Please help us in calculating .what % of what should be added.
extremely tough issue. try searching over search engines like google. that will might help!
Since dolomite has a lower bulk density than 0.85g/ml, you can't use that. So, you have to add phosphogypsum to increase that bulk density of the product. 1 ml of product weighs 0.6025 grams and x ml of phosphogypsum weighs 1.121 x grams, so if you add them together, you have something that weighs 0.6025 + 1.121 x grams. The total volume of that will be 1 + x ml, so the new density you get is (0.6025 + 1.121 x) / (1 + x). This should be equal to the required density of 0.85 g/ml, so what you need to do is solve the equation (0.6025 + 1.121 x) / (1 + x) 0.85. The x you will obtain then is the amount of ml of phosphogypsum you need to add for every ml of product. I hope this helps you further with this question. Good luck!
