According to plant height (Fig. 1a) and fresh weight (Fig. 1b), the optimum chemical ratio of conditioner and straw as the copper tailings amendments was determined.A single application of conditioner had greater effects on growth indexes of ryegrass than a single application of straw, and the effect of a mixture …
The Telfer processing plant receives ore from three sources, one underground mine and two open pits. Across the ore sources, pyrite content of the ore varies significantly, gold presents as free gold and as discrete grains locked in copper sulphides and pyrite, and copper deportment varies from mainly chalcocite in the open …
Keeping Up with Demand: Copper Tailing Reprocessing. Copper is a key resource in modern industry and society. However, copper is finite like all natural resources, and increasing demand for this material depletes global copper reserves. Recovering copper is a crucial strategy to keep up with demand. One approach is to …
The thickener is a very basic piece of machinery that performs its job in an easily understood manner. It simply provides a holding area large enough to allow the concentrate time to settle to the bottom. Once there, there are RAKES that rotate pulling all of the mineral to the center of the thickener. Prom that point it is pumped to the filter.
How a Thickener Works. Thickening or dewatering may be defined as the removal of a portion of the liquid from a pulp or slime made up of a mixture of finely divided solids and liquids. The early methods of thickening employed plain, flat-bottomed tanks into which the pulp was fed until the tank was full. The solids were then allowed to settle ...
