Economic Condition Slurry Clarifying Thickener for Tailing Treatment

1. Brief Description 

Thickener is a type of solid-liquid separation equipment by gravitational sedimentation. The tapered bottom of thickener is a cylinder groove, consisted of concrete, wood or metal plates. Thickener can settle and concentrate the slurry solid density from 10~20% to 45~55% under the function of gravitation via the thickener rake. The thicken slurry is discharged from the bottom of thickener.

3. Working Principle 

During the thickening process, particles suspended in slurry is settled under the gravity force. At the settlement moment, the particles sink at acceleration by gravity function. After that, due to the water resistant, the acceleration of particle reduced, till the resistant force is same with particle gravity. Then the gravity keeps a constant settlement rate, which is called the final settling velocity.

If the density of thicken slurry is small, it can ignore the collision and interreference between particles during settlement process. We call this free settling.

During the continuous thickening equipment, the settlement and concentration can be divided into clarifying section, settling section, pressing section and squeezing section.
