ABSTRACT:
A process for dewatering an aqueous fluid containing solids using water-absorbent substances is disclosed. A water-absorbent substance and a body to which the solids will adhere are added to the solids-containing aqueous fluid. The water-absorbent substance absorbs water and the solids coat the solids-adhering body. The water-laden substance may then be separated from the solid-adhering body that is coated with solids, thereby separating the water and the solids.
