Introduction: Mineral thickeners are recognized as the most cost-effective equipment for water recovery from concentrate and tailings streams. The concentrated slurry from the thickening process is transported to the tailings dam for disposal and the recycled water is returned to the processing plant.

1. Introduction. Graphite ore is a mineral exclusively composed of sp 2 hybridized carbon atoms with p-electrons, found in metamorphic and igneous rocks [1], a good conductor of heat and electricity [2], [3] with high regular stiffness and strength. Note that graphite (plumbago) can maintain its hardness and strength at a temperature of up …
6 Balama graphite mine tailings thickening process Graphite concentrate and tailings production generally involve crushing, milling and grinding, flotation, thickening, filtration, drying and finally screening and bagging of the final product. The type of thickener used at the site is a cylindrical continuous thickener, with mechanical sludge ...
Natural graphite ores are usually upgraded by froth flotation. However, complex processes with multistage grinding and flotation are required to achieve decent liberation and separation of graphite and gangue minerals. This study reports a short and improved flotation process for fine flake graphite ore by employing a thickening stage. …
This study reports a short and improved flotation process for fine flake graphite ore by employing a thickening stage. The results indicated that increasing the regrinding concentration via thickening can improve the grinding efficiency and, thus, …
Concentrate experiences thickening, filtration, and if necessary, drying, to become concentrate product which will be shipped out and sold. The processed tailings are delivered to the tailings pond for storage, experience thickening before storage, or are used as filling material in mine shaft.

The mass of liquid flowing upwards is given by (14.1) ( F − D) Q M ( F) t / h where F = the feed mass ratio (liquid/solids, also known as the feed dilution) D = discharge mass ratio (liquid/solid) and. QM (F) = feed capacity by mass (t/h) At equilibrium, the upward velocity of liquid equals the downward velocity of the solids.
The final concentrate is filtered to remove most of the water. The dried product then leaves the flotation plant and passes to the smelting, leaching, or other metallurgical reduction section. The disposal of the tailing, usually by thickening and settlement with recovery of the water, comprises the last stage in the treatment of the ore.

The operation of dewatering is performed in two stages. First, the bulk of the water is removed in a thickener, from which the concentrate is discharged as a thick pulp ; as a rule the underflow contains 55 to 65% of solids, while 70 to 80% of the original water is recovered in the overflow as a clear liquid. The thickened pulp is then sent to ...
