THICKENING TECHNIQUE OF CYCLONEFLOCCULATED SEDIMENTATION
(Department of Mineral Engineering; Central South University of Technology; Changsha; 410083)
Abstract: In order to increase the concentration of the thickened tailings of iron ore concentrators a new technique of cyclone-flocculated sedimentation was developed by present s and verified by experiments. The new technique employs efficient hydrocyclone designed by s in conjunction with a low cost flocculant named KLP. The concentration of thickened tailings was increased to higher than 60wt.-% and the concentration of thickener feed was decreased to 5.9～9. 0wt.-%.
Key words: cyclone-flocculated sedimentation thickening technique flocculant
