Description
Short description:
Learn to improve moisture control and water recovery using operational case-based exercises.
Long description:
This module provides an in-depth exploration of dewatering processes used to remove water from mineral products and tailings in processing operations. Learners will analyse key techniques such as thickening, filtration, and drying, focusing on their principles, equipment, and operational parameters. Through interactive scenarios and process-based examples, participants will evaluate how moisture content is controlled to meet product specifications and improve handling efficiency. Activities and knowledge checks support the assessment of process selection, water recovery, and environmental considerations. By the end of the module, learners will be able to determine and justify appropriate dewatering methods for different materials and operational contexts. This module builds on separation techniques and supports efficient resource and water management in mineral processing workflows.
