POL-E-Z Liquid Flocculants
RRA™ Red Mud FlocculantsFlocculation for Liquid Solid Separation in the Mining Industries
Red mud removal requires the use of flocculants effective in bridging and entrapping fine red mud solids to rapidly separate the solids from the saturated liquor. This separation process occurs via decantation and subsequently in multiple counter current washing stages to reclaim soluble alumina and soda.
The more efficient the flocculant is in performing its function, the lower the cost of red mud separation. The more effective the flocculant is, the greater the potential for; increased alumina recovery, reduction in valuable soda losses, and minimization of negative downstream effects.
