Process for the recovery of mineral particles, metallic particles or small precious stones from an aqueous sludge associated with an ore body or a mineral deposit or its processing

摘要

Invention Patent: "PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF MINERAL PARTICLES, METALLIC PARTICLES OR SMALL PRECIOUS STONES FROM A WATER MUD ASSOCIATED WITH A BODY OF ORE OR A MINERAL DEPOSIT OR ITS PROCESSING". A process for recovering mineral particles, metallic particles or small precious stones from an aqueous sludge associated with an ore body or mineral deposit or its processing, the aforementioned aqueous sludge containing mineral particles, metallic particles or small precious stones suspended with particles of mud. The process includes adding a sufficient amount of a deflocculating agent to the aqueous slurry to cause the deflocculation of the sludge particles and producing a deflocculated suspension containing mineral particles, metal particles or small gemstones. The deflocculated suspension is allowed to settle, and the settled material containing mineral particles, metallic particles or small precious stones is recovered.
