Abstract
The present invention relates to the drainage or dewatering of ore concentrates and more particularly to an improved method for dewatering as by filtration, to produce solids which have a desirably low moisture content and which are readily and easily handled by conventional methods of materials handling. The method employs the use of linear or branched alkyl ethoxylated alcohols as dewatering aids.
