The project aims to develop the understanding required to provide a quantitative basis for the selection, design and operation of thickening devices for optimal dewatering performance in the minerals industry. This will enable reduced water use, improved water management, provide better slurry solids management and improve tailing disposal practice, resulting in reduced processing and capital costs, increased throughput and lower environmental impact. In particular, the project will link the characterisation of the slurry feed to thickener process conditions and subsequent dewatering performance, including the role of rakes and shear devices. It will provide a sound basis for the optimization of dewatering in thickener operations.

该项目旨在发展所需的理解，为浓缩设备的选择，设计和操作提供定量基础，以实现采矿业的最佳脱水性能。 这将减少用水，改善水管理，提供更好的泥浆固体管理和改善尾矿处理实践，从而降低加工和资本成本，增加产量和降低环境影响。 特别是，该项目将把泥浆进料的特性与增稠工艺条件和随后的脱水性能联系起来，包括耙和剪切装置的作用。 为浓缩机脱水工艺的优化提供了依据。
