For instance, the flotation process is performed with water containing 25–35% wt solid ratio and is consumed 1.9–3 m 3 water per ton of ore processed (Gunson et al., 2012; Li et al., 2019). However, the tailing slurry containing roughly 40–60% solids is discharged as a result of the process (Bleiwas, 2012 ).
