Improving the Flocculation Performance of Clay-Based Tailings in Seawater: A Population Balance Modelling Approach
A population balance model described the flocculation of clay-based mining tailings in treated seawater with reduced magnesium content. For the treatment, 0.06 M of lime was added to the liquor, generating solid magnesium complexes that were subsequently removed by vacuum filtration. Magnesium conte...
