Ib qho tuab tuab feem ntau muaj ntau yam tseem ceeb. Ua ntej yog lub tank lub cev - lub nkoj loj, voj voog lossis square tsim kom muaj qhov raug ncua kev kho mob. Qhov luaj li cas ntawm lub tank tuaj yeem raug kho raws li qhov tshwj xeeb ua ntim, xws li los ntawm me me - cov chav kuaj ntsuas mus rau cov kev lag luam loj heev.
Qhov thib ob yog lub tshuab tsav, uas ua rau lub rooj sib dhos rake, ua kom nws tig maj mam thiab thawb cov khoom sib txuas mus rau qhov chaw nres nkoj hauv nruab nrab. Kev tsim ntawm lub rooj sib txoos rake yog qhov tseem ceeb; nws yuav tsum muaj peev xwm ua tau zoo conveying cov khib nyiab yam tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam ntau dhau ntawm cov khoom uas twb muaj lawm.
Tsis tas li ntawd, lub thickener yog txawm peem rau nrog ib tug pub system, ib tug overflow system, thiab ib tug underflow system. Cov khoom noj khoom haus yog lub luag haujlwm rau kev qhia txog cov slurry nyoos rau hauv cov khoom siv; lub overflow system sau cov kua supernatant; thiab lub underflow system lis cov paug ntawm cov thickened slurry. Kev sib koom ua haujlwm ntawm cov tshuab no ua kom muaj kev ua haujlwm tsis tu ncua thiab ruaj khov ntawm tag nrho cov txheej txheem.
Lub thickener, raws li lub npe implies, yog ib qho cuab yeej siv los ua kom cov concentration ntawm kev ncua. Nws lub luag haujlwm tseem ceeb yog cais cov khoom ntawm cov kua los ntawm lub ntiajteb txawj nqus sedimentation, yog li yielding ib denser slurry los yog ib tug clearer kua. Cov cuab yeej no tau siv dav hauv kev lag luam xws li mining, metallurgy, tshuaj, thiab kev tiv thaiv ib puag ncig-tshwj xeeb hauv kev kho cov tailings, dej khib nyiab, lossis cov txheej txheem slurries.
