The aim of this review was to summarize information and scientific data from the literature
dedicated to the fate of polyacrylamide (PAM)-based flocculants in hydrosystems …

A population balance model based on a detailed literature review is used to describe
coagulation and flocculation kinetics as well as the time evolution of aggregate size …

The aluminum ions generated from mining aluminum, electrolytic aluminum and the
industrial production of aluminum-based coagulants (such as AlCl 3 and Al 2 (SO 4) 3) enter …

The influence of applied mixing (intensity and duration), solids concentration, and liquor
chemistry on the molecular weight (MW) response of seven anionic (30%) polyacrylamides …

The paper deals with the dependence of aggregate properties on the shear rate (G) in the
aggregation process and at steady state. Natural raw water and ferric sulphate were …

We have investigated the effect of energy input on the flocculation process and flotation
behavior of fine scheelite of less than 10 µm size. Sodium oleate was used as a dual …

As the expectations for more consistent and higher density thickened and paste tailings in
the minerals industry increase, so do the demands on flocculation performance within …

There are numerous models of sedimentation in fine particle suspensions, derived from or
validated with physical measurements. Such models could be applied to optimise and …

A comprehensive evaluation of flocculation processes is presented with emphasis on
physical and engineering aspects. Flocculation by polymer bridging involves three basic sub …

Conventional mineral waste disposal involves pumping dilute concentration suspensions of
tailings to large catchment areas, where the solids settle to form a consolidated base while …
