The document discusses thickener feedwell design. It notes that most current feedwell designs do not achieve key objectives like efficient mixing and flocculation. Large diameter feedwells are prone to short-circuiting which reduces performance. A new vane feedwell design is introduced that features two mixing zones, controls dilution flows, and …
A Thickener by definition produces thick mud - but how thick is enough? This is often best considered with reference to a Yield Stress Curve with yield stress in pascals plotted against underflow density. The yield stress is a subset of the enormous topic of rheology and is commonly used in Thickener design to represent the force required to
The common thickener underpins the performance of most hydrometallurgical facilities. Thickeners are simple, reliable, effective and efficient-under the right conditions.
The purpose of this paper is to present a generalised understanding of the various inputs that combine in the design, control …
The structural design of a tailings thickener was reviewed using finite element analysis (FEA). [1] The FEA model analyzed stresses on the rake arms, central torque cage, and octagonal ring under different torque and bridge position conditions. [2] The results showed the connection points between the rakes and torque cage experienced the highest …
