Mineral slurries are effectively dewatered by a process employing an aminofunctional silicone emulsion as a dewatering aid. The process provides for mixing the dewatering aid with the aqueous mineral slurry and thereafter separating the treated slurry into a mineral portion and an aqueous portion. The use of the aminofunctional silicones provide for reduced moisture content and/or increased production rate in a mineral slurry dewatering process. |
