🧪 Tailings Thickener (2D Cross-Section)

A side-view cross-section of a mining tailings thickener: slurry settles under gravity into a compacting mud bed, raked toward a central underflow cone, while flocculant, feed rate, feed solids and rake speed control clarity and underflow density.

This 2D companion strips the tailings thickener down to a readable side-view cross-section: slurry falls from a central feed well, settles under a simplified Kynch hindered-settling law into a compacting mud bed, and is dragged by rotating rake arms toward a central underflow cone — the same flocculant/feed/rake trade-offs as the 3D version, driving live overflow-clarity and underflow-density readouts.

⚙ Under the hood

Side-view tailings-thickener settling model: flocculant dose, feed rate, feed solids and rake speed drive a hindered-settling column with a live mud-bed level, overflow clarity and underflow density readout.
