چکیده مقاله:
Many studies have considered the effects of suspension properties on the dewatering process but fewhave focused on ore properties. Thus, the present work studied the effects of ore properties (density,particle size, mineralogy) on the dewatering process based on lab and pilot experiments. A hydrocyclonewas used to prepare the required samples for the experiments. To study the effects of mineralogicalproperties, the sedimentation behaviour of hydrocyclone feed and underflow samples were compared. Itwas observed that the free-settling velocity of feed (2 to 6mm/sec) was less than in the underflow sample(2 to 7mm/sec) and the final concentration of underflow sample (0.45 to 0.48t/m3) was more than thefeed sample (0.44 to 0.47t/m3). Additionally, to study the effects of particle size and density, thesedimentation behaviour of hydrocyclone overflow and feed samples were compared. The settlingvelocity and final concentration of overflow sample were obtained at 0.15 to 0.4mm/sec and 0.32t/m3,respectively, which was significantly less than the feed sample. This was due to the amount of clayreduction in the underflow sample and particle size and density reduction in the overflow sample.Following on, the pilot experiments were carried out. It was observed that the bed formation of the feedsample tended to overflow in the sample at low flux (10t/m2/day) and tended to underflow in the sampleat high flux (28.5t/m2/day). This meant that the long time at lower flux created an opportunity for fineparticles to settle easily, similar to coarser particles and as such, ore properties did not play a decisiverole in bed formation, but their effects appeared instead at higher flux. Furthermore, it was observed thatthe underflow concentration increased by decreasing the flux from 28.5 to 10t/m2/day. These increasingamounts were 0.05t/m3 and 0.12t/m3 in hydrocyclone overflow and underflow samples, respectively, at aheight of 2.5 metres. This meant that the compressibility and permeability of the hydrocycloneunderflow sample was much better than in the hydrocyclone overflow sample, which was clearly a resultof the ore properties (density, particle size, mineralogy).
