Thickening is the main process used in the minerals industry for recovery and recycling of water and the environmental management of waste products. This project will provide simple but fundamental experimental and modelling tools to enhance thickener design and operations. The result will be improved water recovery, reduced waste volumes, environmentally sustainable options for waste tailings disposal and significant cost reductions through improved device design at a large number of sites both in Australia and overseas. An additional benefit will be an integrated design and operational approach to thickener utilisation in the minerals industry.

浓缩是采矿业用于水回收和再循环以及废物环境管理的主要工艺。该项目将提供简单但基本的实验和建模工具，以加强浓缩机的设计和操作。 其结果将是改善水回收，减少废物量，废物尾矿处置的环境可持续选择，以及通过在澳大利亚和海外的大量地点改进设备设计来大幅降低成本。 另一个好处是，在采矿业中，浓缩机的综合设计和操作方法将得到利用。
