• Description:
  The Bureau of Mines is developing a dewatering technique for phosphatic clay slime waste produced in Florida phosphate facilities. The technique consists of mixing the slime waste with a flocculant, polyethylene oxide, and dewatering the resulting agglomerate on a rotary screen. Slimes containing a nominal 3 wt- pct solids have been dewatered to solids contents of 20 to 30 pct. This paper describes a series of laboratory investigations applying the Bureau-developed dewatering technique to a variety of ultrafine waste materials. [Description provided by NIOSH]
