Improving flocculation and dewatering performance of iron tailings ...
In this plant 700 t/h ore (containing 51% iron) is treated to produce 350400 t/h concentrate with iron contents of 63%. The tailing of the iron ore beneficiation plant (containing 17% iron) at a mass flow rate of 300350 t/h in slurry form with 58% w/v solids% is usually dewatered in two parallel thickeners (D = 55 m, H = m).
