The Characteristics of Iron Ore Slimes and Their Influence …

The removal of iron ore slimes using hydrocyclones was ... to tailings from magnetite ores processing, at the Mikhailovsky plant in Russia [7]. The authors demonstrated that desliming at 10 m reveals higher mass pull and lower iron grades when desliming at 20 m. Despite 10% higher mass pull at 10 m, cutting at 20 m have shown a dramatic increase on

Thickener Operating pH and Lime for Flocculation & …

The thickener could be "sliming" and will produce a dirty overflow combined with a low density underflow. If this is a problem, a reagent called a FLOCCULANT is added to the thickener feed. A flocculent causes the slimes …

The role of ore properties in thickening process

The role of ore properties (density, particle size, and mineralogy) in thickening process was studied in this research. The shaking table was used to prepare the sample for the tests.

Thickener Torque -Rakes & Drive

As the rakes are turned by the drive shaft they cause the concentrate that has settled onto the bottom of the thickener to be pulled into the discharge chamber at the centre of the thickener. This is called the CONE. It is from this cone that the thickener underflow is taken. During normal operations of the circuit, the thickener may be pulled ...

Feeding your thickener

OneMine | Considerations and Parameters in Thickener Selection …

In the minerals industry, thickeners are used in: clay sizing, coal refuse, heavy media, copper concentrates, copper tailings, gold flotation concentrates, and countercurrent decantation for cyanidization in gold and CCD in uranium. Concentrate and tailings thickeners are used in iron ore plants, and concentrate and tailings units in lead-zinc ...

Counter Current Decantation Cyanide Gold Leaching

The Process Flowsheet CCD CY-1 shows (below) the continuous counter-current decantation system, in which all the ore is first reduced to a very fine state in the grinding mill-classifier circuit, in a cyanide solution.The slime overflow of the classifier, usually 70%—200 mesh, or finer, is sent to the first thickener, known as the primary thickener.

Waste Guide for the Uranium Milling Industry

The precipitated uranium is removed as thickener tank underflow and filtered. This filtrate and the tank overflow are then filtered, and the resulting barren liquor is recarbon- ated and recycled for use as mill solution in the initial grind- ing step. ... The discharge of very fine and not readily settleable ore particles, or slimes, causes ...

Uranium processing

Uranium processing - Leaching, Extraction, Purification: Roasted uranium ores are leached of their uranium values by both acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions. For the successful operation of all leaching systems, uranium must either be initially present in the more stable hexavalent state or be oxidized to that state in the leaching process. Acid leaching is commonly performed …
