Contained-material recovery
Calculate the fraction of contained material recovered from a stated feed amount.
Method and scope
Recovery (%) = recovered contained mass ÷ feed contained mass × 100.
Use contained-material recovery for educational calculation or a clearly scoped arithmetic estimate. Intended for Learners, General educational use.
Inputs- Recovered material mass — kg, g, t
- Contained material in feed — kg, g, t
SOURCE AND LIMITS
Assumptions: Recovered mass and feed contained mass refer to the same material and process accounting basis.
Limitations: Feed grade, measurement uncertainty, losses, and accounting boundaries must be established separately.
