Mining thickeners, also known as clarifiers or settlers, are large sedimentation tanks used in mineral processing operations. They are designed to separate solids from liquids, allowing for the efficient concentration of solids and the recovery of valuable minerals. Thickeners utilize gravity sedimentation to facilitate the …
