    摘要: A thickener for dewatering fluids having a vessel with a central well extending proximate a top portion of the vessel to a lower cone-shaped portion, a hindered settling zone, and a compressible sediment layer zone within the lower cone-shaped portion. Eductors housed in inlet wells have an inlet nozzle and a mixing tube to receive slurry to be treated and clear fluid to be mixed with the slurry. The fluid from the eductors is directed in counter circular paths via circular chambers situated proximate the inlet wells, such that fluid flowing in each direction collides and forms turbulence within the central well. Resultant fluid is directed into a lamella-type separator circumferentially located about a portion of the central well, having layered fluid paths directed radially outwards from said center longitudinal axis and upwards towards said vessel top portion through a conical, inclined fluid path, plate structure. The eductors are adjustable with a movable iris for limiting the amount of clear fluid exiting the eductor.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for treating an aqueous suspension of solid mineral particles arising from the extraction of ores, comprising the following steps: a soluble polymer is prepared in water, comprising: o at least one non-ionic monomer, selected from the group consisting of acrylamide; methacrylamide; N-monoderivatives of acrylamide; N-monoderivatives of methacrylamide; N,N-derivatives of acrylamide; N,N-derivatives of methacrylamide; acrylic esters; methacrylic esters; N-vinylformamide; and N-vinylpyrrolidone; o at least one anionic monomer representing between 10 and 70 mol %, selected from the group consisting of monomers having a carboxylic functional group and salts thereof; monomers having a sulphonic acid functional group and salts thereof; monomers having a phosphonic acid functional group and salts thereof; o at least one cationic monomer representing between 0.2 and 6 mol %, selected from the group consisting of diallyl dimethylammonium chloride, methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride and acrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride; adding said soluble polymer into the water having the aqueous suspension of solid particles. This method is particularly useful for treating residues resulting from the extraction of bituminous sand.
