Thickener Operation and Flocculant Application

At startup, the relatively high level of feed solids, 1720%, called for in design led to difficulties in achieving the degree of flocculation necessary to meet required settling rates. It was recognized that decreasing feed solids would improve thickener performance while .

Unlike conventional thickeners, high rate thickeners must use flocculants. The basic design of a high rate thickener is below. High rate thickener feed wells are designed to disperse flocculants thoroughly into the feed end to admit the flocculated slurry into the settling zone of the thickener without destruction of the newly formed floccules.

THE CONCEPT. The Magra HighRate Thickener is self regulatory and both the internal dewatering cycles adjust automatically to accommodate feed conditions and provide for reliable operation. The top edge of the mixing chamber is modified to include Vnotches similar in shape to the overflow launder Vnotches.

The primary thickener For the primary thickening, a high rate thickener with a diameter of 48 m is used that was designed to handling 875 tons of dry tailings per hour. In actual operation, however, it has reached a handling capacity of up to 1000 t/h. The rakedrive torque was found to be below 5%, and no rake arm rise occurred due to

independent variables such as flocculant rate, underflow flowrate, and feed rate. Figure 3 Common thickener configuration with independent and dependent variables Thickener feed Thickeners are commonly fed from a distribution tank. The line that feeds the thickener often has a slight incline and the flow is driven by gravity.

As is shown, increasing flocculant dosage from 15 to 45 g/t led to an increase in settling flux about seven times. The reason is attributed to an increase in floc size and settling rate with flocculant dosage. The same trend was observed in the solids concentration of 7 and 15 %. Notice that, excessive flocculant dosage may reduce the compressibility

Instrumentation and Control of Sedimentation Equipment

Instrumentation and Control of Sedimentation Equipment Abstract Some of the process variables that are commonly monitored on a thickener are torque, rake height, bed level, bed pressure, feed rate and density, underflow rate and density, settling rate, and overflow turbidity. Many of these are easily measured, while some can be difficult.

A mathematical model has been developed to describe the size and settling rate of aggregates formed by flocculation in thickeners/clarifiers used in the mineral processing industry. The aggregation process was simulated with a population balance model, which calculates the aggregate size distribution through time as a function of the competing processes of aggregation and breakage.
