In this research project gibbsite is taken as a model for understanding and improving dewatering behaviour. The main aim of this study was to investigate primary process variables such as polymer functionality, charge type/density and molecular weight, pH and shear influence interfacial chemistry and particle interactions and the concomitant dewatering behaviour of gibbsite dispersions. In addition the study explored how using these variables, pulp dewaterability might be optimized. / Thesis (MEngineering)--University of South Australia, 2006.
