Describing Mining Tailing Flocculation in Seawater by Population Balance Models: Effect of Mixing Intensity

A population balance model (PBM) is used to describe flocculation of particle tailings in seawater at pH 8 for a range of mixing intensities. The size of the aggregates is represented by the mean chord length, determined by the focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) technique. The PBM follows t...
