An effervescent chitosan-containing solid composition for agglomerating s olids in and clarifying a slurry in a solid-liquid separation process or sys tem, such as a mining pond, and a method of using the composition is describ ed and claimed. The slurry contains water and solids. The composition includ es chitosan, a solid acid, and a carbonate or a bicarbonate source. Optional ly, the composition is formulated with an inert fluorescent tracer, to aid i n dosing the composition to the slurry in the system. This clarification pro cess causes solids to settle to the bottom of the pond, or otherwise aid in separating the solids from the aqueous phase, leaving the water less turbid than before the application of chitosan.
