Abstract
This bachelor thesis based on the research work of Oyu Tolgoi (OT) LLC that to solve problem which is generating a scale in riser pipe of tailing thickener during settling processes. OT
concentrator plant is reused the water from the tailing thickener and recycling water is more than 80 %. Tailing thickener plays main role as produce clarified effluent and it is used for
reuse water in processing plant. Performance of tailing thickener is most considerable issue and their settling is the first step in the utilization of tailings; thus, it is very important to
determine their settling behavior. The aim of this study was to investigate the parameters that aspect settling behavior of tailings solution with different conditions. This thesis presents the results of a study conducted on settling processes of copper mineral tailings. Moreover, the following goals will be expected, investigate the tailing solution charecteristics, make
assumption the scale formation causes on the case and suggest scaling removal and preventing environmental way.
