This is mostly the measurement of pulp concentration. It is usually used in grinding and thickening processes. Measuring the solid content in pulp will help meet the concentration requirements of the equipment such as mill and cyclone; besides, it is also used to measure the production indicator, e.g., pulp concentration of thickener bottom flow.
Mineral matter, which comprises the ash and sulfur found in the coal, can be quite variable depending on its origin, and its concentration level can impact the utilization potential. The inherent ash-forming minerals that contribute to a plant's nutrients represent the more fundamental components in the ash, while its inherent sulfur is of ...

We also design and engineer the whole froth flotation pilot plant for mineral concentration.
What is a Thickener? In very simple words, a thickener is a machine that separates liquid from solids. It is defined as a method of continuous dewatering of a dilute pulp, wherein a regular ...
The treated ore pulp goes into the flotation cells for mixing and pneumatic, making the aimed mineral suspended and generates lots of froth. During the cotact of aimed mineral and the froth, the ore particles with good floatability are selectively attached to froth, and the froth float up to the pulp surface to form a mineralized froth layer.
Scope of Ore Beneficiation: Previously selective mining practices were followed. But after the development of inexpensive ore beneficiation methods, bulk mining practices have proved to be more economical compared to careful selective mining. In a general way the scope of mineral dressing or ore beneficiation is twofold: 1.

Therefore, the slurry undergoes thickening and dewatering using a high-efficiency thickener, bringing the concentration to between 40% and 45%, ready for cyanidation. This preparation ensures that the ore has the appropriate physical and chemical characteristics for cyanidation, leading to a smooth leaching process.
