Hi.
I want to know the design considerations for a High Rate Thickener that will be used to separate platinum solids from used mining water which forms a slurry with an inlet slurry velocity of 75 [l/s] and a solids percentage of 0.5 [%]. The density of the solids in the slurry is 3020 [kg/m^3] and there will be assumed that the underflow contains a solids percentage of between 20 - 40 [%].
Any assistance on the matter will be appreciated.
Regards
Christiaan
