Abstract

In view of adding different flocculant to the mine river sediment, the influence of different flocculants on the sedimentation performance of the mine river sediment was investigated. The experimental results show that the selected flocculant, cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), has an evident effect on the flocculation and settlement of the mine river sediment. The final flocculation effect was enhanced with faster settling speed. The flocculation effect was optimized when 10 mL CPAM flocculant (0.2wt%) was added, followed by 3 minutes of stirring. The dewatering effect of the flocculated sediment can be enhanced with decreased solid content of the sediment.
