Abstract: This work presents the results from a piloting study on an alternative process
to the tailings filtration in horizontal belt filters currently being used at Mantos
Blancos Division of Anglo American Chile. This alternative process consists on
the recovery of solids > 45 mðm contained in the tailing, through two cycloning
stages followed by a drainage stage in dewatering screens to reduce tailing mois-
ture and turn it into a paste easily to be transported to the adjoining dumping
facility.
