Abstract

The main aim of this study was to investigate how primary process variables such as clay mineral type, polymer functionality, agitation intensity and temperature influence flocculant-mediated interfacial chemistry and particle interactions and the concomitant dewatering behaviour of colloidally stable clay dispersions. It is also an arching aim to explore how using these variables, pulp detwaterability might be optimised.
