Flotation process practiced on a shaking table. Ore is ground, de-slimed, conditioned and fed to table as thick slurry. Floatable particles become glomerules, held together by minute air bubbles and edge-adhesion. These roll across and are discharged nearly opposite feed end, [the] process being helped by jets of low-pressure air from piping set across table. Tailings work along deck to discharge end. 5, record 1, English, - table%20flotation

Les minéraux revêtus de leur membrane d'adsorption s'agglomèrent et filent très rapidement sur la surface du liquide servant à la préparation de la pulpe.

Marble Slurry. A New Building Material.... Marble slurry is generated as a by-product during cutting of marble.... While marble blocks are cut by gang saws, water is used as a coolant. The blade thickness of the saws is about 5 mm and normally the blocks are cut in 20 mm thick sheets. Therefore, out of every 25 mm thickness of marble block, 5 mm are converted into powder while cutting. This powder flows along with the water as marble slurry. 4, record 3, English, - marble%20slurry

Since the marble slurry imposes serious threats to the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment, research has been done to find useful utilizations of it, such as the incorporation of marble dust or slurry during the manufacturing of tiles, door panels, building bricks and in road making. 5, record 3, English, - marble%20slurry

Les épaississeurs servent à régler la concentration en solides de la pulpe qui ira à la flottation ou alimentera les filtres à vide. Ces appareils utilisent le phénomène de la vitesse limite en eau calme. Ce sont des bassins cylindriques dans lesquels l'eau chargée arrive à la partie supérieure, au centre du bassin; elle se répartit radialement, et, pendant le temps de parcours pour atteindre la périphérie, les particules les plus grenues descendent, échappant à ce courant horizontal, et tombent au fond; c'est donc une eau moins chargée qui est évacuée par débordement. Les particules qui ont décanté se rassemblent sur le fond du bassin; le plus souvent, ce fond est à peine conique, parfois même plat, et les bras d'un râteau tournant très lentement homogénéisent le dépôt, qui est amené vers l'orifice de sortie. 4, record 4, French, - %C3%A9paississeur

It is estimated that about 80% of existing vats are of the counterflow type.... In this type of vat, the slurry flows opposite to the direction of cylinder rotation, causing sheet formation to begin at the point of highest consistency. Although relatively thick plies can be formed(i. e., up to 0. 010 inch or 10 mils caliper, referred to as 10 "points" in the trade), a number of problems are associated with this method. Because the mold rotates opposite to the direction of stock flow, a portion of deposited stock is continuously washed off the mold, resulting in flocced fiber bundles that contribute to "blotchy" formation. 2, record 6, English, - counterflow%20vat
