A Population Balance Model for Shear-Induced Polymer-Bridging Flocculation of Total Tailings

A Population Balance Model for Shear-Induced Polymer-Bridging Flocculation of Total Tailings

Shear-induced polymer-bridging flocculation is widely used in the solid–liquid separation process in cemented paste backfill, beneficial to water recycling and tailings management in metal mines. A flocculation kinetics model based on Population Balance Model (PBM) is proposed to model the polymer-b...
