ABSTRACT:
A process for improving a solid/liquid separation of tails from acidulated or non-acidulated liquors obtained by leaching phosphate ores or waste comprising: adding a mixture of dissolved polymers of hydroxyalkyl cellulose and polyoxyethylene into an aqueous slurry of leached phosphate wastes to obtain flocks of phosphatic clay wastes; allowing said flocks to settle into an agglomerated mass; decanting luqiid from insoluble residues to obtain tails having a solid content from about 55 to 70%.
