FLOCCULATION, SUBSIDENCE AND FILTRATION OF URANIFEROUS COLLOIDAL ORE DISPERSIONS (SLIMES)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4307748
An exhaustive investigation of these properties for slimes of various types of uraniferous ores has been made over the past six years. From these studies, a general theory for the flocculation of suspended fine particles and colloidal dispersions by natural and synthetic polymeric flocculants was developed. Methods quantitative data of subsidence and filtration rates which are of general applicability in chemical engineering and mineral technology. Quantitative correlations among the adsorption of flocculants, specific surface areas of particles, and rates of filtration were developed and tested. These relationships are valid for the slimes prepared from a variety of natural ores and pure chemical compounds. It is possible to predict the optimum subsidence and filtration rates as dependent upon the nature and concentration of the flocculant as well as the chemical compositoin of the solid particles in the slimes.
