This chapter describes the treatment of fine coal tailings from a coal preparation facility, starting from the acceptance of tailings, or fine raw coal, into a plant thickener, which concentrates the tailings as a slurry, and produces clarified water for recirculation to the process plant. The methods of disposal of the thickened slurry ...

The present paper is a part of the study done on settling of coal fines by flocculation to enhance the clarification efficiency, such that the process water could be recycled in coal washing circuits. In this study, flocculation performance results of the tests carried out using two polymer flocculants, namely Nalco-83370+ and Magna-1011, …

The dewatering of tailings is one of the serious challenges that the mining and mineral processing industries have encountered internationally. Solid–liquid separation methods are applied to wastewater, which generally consists of fine particles and water; fine particles are settled in thickeners by the flocculation method and the cleaned water is …

Wet coal preparation is an important technique for the clean and efficient utilisation of coal. The coal wastewater generated by washing, which runs to billions of cubic metres per year, is usually purified and reused via concentration and pressure filtration [1]. The thickening process is mainly realised via a coal-slurry thickener [2].

The rule of the thumb is: The higher the density, the less process water is pumped out of the thickener's underflow. Thus, through the optimisation of water content in the underflow, recycling of process water can be maximised, while ensuring that the underflow slurry is sufficiently liquid to be managed by the underflow pump.

Paste thickener dynamics is complicated due to the interactions between key process variables, uncertainties in operating conditions and large time constant. In this paper, a dynamic model of the paste thickener which addresses varying coal parameters were developed and a model predictive control (MPC) was formulated based on the model.

Beginners guide to thickeners. Thickening is a process where a slurry or solid-liquid mixture is separated to a dense slurry containing most of the solids and an overflow of essentially clear water (or liquor in leaching processes). The driving force for the separation is gravitational, where the differences in phase densities drive the ...
