METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTINUCUSLY FLOCCUCNTING A SLURRY OF MINERAL PARTICLES

摘要

A system for subjecting a slurry containing solids and a liquid and a flocculating agent in a processing chamber to forces to move the slurry, liquid and flocculating agent through the processing chamber from an inlet opening to an outlet opening in turbulent flow along a continuous spiral and circulatory path so as to form the solids into floccules which may be readily separated from the liquid in which they are contained.
