This book covers virtually all of the engineering science and
technological aspects of separating water from particulate solids
in the mining industry. It starts with an introduction to the field
of mineral processing and the importance of water in mineral
concentrators. The consumption of water in the various stages of
concentration is discussed, as is the necessity of recovering the
majority of that water for recycling. The book presents the
fundamentals under which processes of solid-liquid separation are
studied, approaching mixtures of discrete finely divided solid
particles in water as a basis for dealing with sedimentation in
particulate systems. Suspensions, treated as continuous media,
provide the basis of sedimentation, flows through porous media and
filtration. The book also considers particle aggregations, and
thickening is analyzed in depth. Lastly, two chapters cover the
fundamentals and application of rheology and the transport of
suspensions.
This work is suitable for researchers and professionals in
laboratories and plants, and can also serve as additional
readingfor graduate seminars on solid liquid separation as well as
for advanced undergraduate and graduate level studentsfor courses
of fluid mechanics, solid-liquid separation, thickening, filtration
and transport of suspensions in tubes and channels.
