Part 1 of this article covered the most common problems in thickener operations caused by thickener design errors and changes in ore properties. Part 2 will discuss in detail the problems caused by mechanical …
Read MoreWe have discussed in early articles the strategies to optimize water consumption (part 1 and part 2) and learned the vital role that thickeners play in the optimization of the water recovery process. In …
Read MoreThickeners are used to separate a solid-liquid mixture into two products, a clear liquor in the overflow and a concentrated and thick slurry in the underflow by gravity. Flocculants are also fed to the …
Read MoreIn part 1 of this article, we discussed the water balance in a concentrator and identified where water losses occurred in the process. We then looked in detail at the type of tailing disposal technologies …
Read MoreWater is a strategic, scarce and high cost resource. Therefore, miners are developing strategies to reduce water consumption in concentrator plants. In this article, we will discuss where the biggest water …
