Slurry Pump Fundamentals GIW

24.00 USD

In the mining industry, slurry pumps are used to transport
slurries. The production of fertilizer, for example, involves
massive slurry transport operations. To make the fertilizer,
phosphate matrix is recovered by draglines in open-pit mining
operations. (Draglines are huge electrically powered excavating
machines with buckets that hold as much as 150 tons.) The
matrix is then slurried (mixed with water) and pumped to the
wash plant through pipelines with a typical length of about six
miles.
