Unit operations used to achieve solid-liquid separation for fine particle suspensions rely
upon efficient aggregate formation. There is considerable potential for predictions from …

The presence of clays can make dewatering of tailings from mineral processing challenging.
This review focuses on the interaction of clays in tailings under different conditions, including …

High-efficiency flocculation and settling is required for solid–liquid separation in cemented
paste backfill, which is one of the best approaches for tailings management and green …

This review discusses the Brownian motion and coagulation/flocculation (C/F) in
water/wastewater treatment. In water/wastewater treatment processes, pertinent questions …

The influence of applied mixing (intensity and duration), solids concentration, and liquor
chemistry on the molecular weight (MW) response of seven anionic (30%) polyacrylamides …

The effect of salinity on the yielding properties and viscoelastic behaviour of flocculated
kaolinite sediments was studied through stress growth and creep-recovery tests. Turbulent …

The effect of ultrasonication, screening and shearing on five polyacrylamide-based
flocculants of similar molecular weight but different degrees of anionicity (DA) was studied …

The characteristics of clayey suspensions, majorly composed of quartz microparticles, in the
presence of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes were investigated using different …

As the expectations for more consistent and higher density thickened and paste tailings in
the minerals industry increase, so do the demands on flocculation performance within …

There are numerous models of sedimentation in fine particle suspensions, derived from or
validated with physical measurements. Such models could be applied to optimise and …
