This article examines the scientific and practical foundations for improving the thickening of gold-bearing flotation concentrates and developing a process for producing a highly clarified overflow. Efficient solid–liquid separation, increased slurry solids concentration, and the production of a...

This article presents a comparative literature review of technologies for thickening gold-bearing flotation concentrates and recovering clarified process water. The approaches examined include conventional and high-rate thickening, optimisation of flocculation conditions and feedwell hydrodynamics,...
