What Is The Difference Between Sedimentation And Flotation

Sedimentation Explained Definition and Process Description. Sedimentation is a fundamental water treatment process where suspended particles are removed from fluid by the force of gravity. This process allows particles to settle to the bottom of a tank or basin over time, forming a sludge that can be periodically removed.

Improving Flocculation Performance of Copper Flotation …

For instance, the flotation process is performed with water containing 25–35% wt solid ratio and is consumed 1.9–3 m 3 water per ton of ore processed (Gunson et al., 2012; Li et al., 2019). However, the tailing slurry containing roughly 40–60% solids is discharged as a result of the process (Bleiwas, 2012 ).
