Tailings disposal in the form of mineral slurry has a number of advantages, among which we can highlight the environmental, social, operational and technical nature. This alternative arrangement of the tailings is a technology that has been developed rapidly highlighting the sector thickening equipment manufacturers and transportation. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the production of concentrated suspensions minerals known as pasta tailings from beneficiation processes manganese obtained by a paste thickener scale laboratory. The study includes the characterization of the solid sample, evaluation of flocculation (type and dosage), use of a producer of pulp laboratory scale equipment with a useful capacity of 7 liters for the formation of mineral paste through continuous feed of pulp, evaluation of influence on the solids concentration using generator floc (RGF), characte...
