Tailings Paste Disposal – More than Water Recovery

Paste thickeners thicken tailings to higher underflow solids concentrations than conventional and high-rate thickeners. For example, a tailings stream in an iron ore application could be thickened to 45-50% solids in conventional or high-rate thickeners. Conversely, the same tailings stream could be thickened to 65-70% solids using a paste ...
