| 摘要 |
Abstract The invention provides generally an apparatus for analysing a high density tailings feed of a mechanical dewatering system, the method comprising the steps of: opening a process valve, thereby to permit fluid communication of the tailings feed to a control apparatus; analysing the flocculation and coagulation characteristics of the tailings feed within the control apparatus to give rise to scatter output; communicating the scatter output to a control panel associated with a flocculant pump and a coagulant pump; comparing the scatter output with user-defined reference values for flocculation and coagulation; and adjusting the dosage levels of the flocculation and coagulation pumps accordingly such that a defined amount of flocculant and/or coagulant is then provided to the mechanical dewatering system based upon an algorithm relating the ratio of scatter number to the reference value.
