Water Properties

The adequate supply of the quantity of water to the plant is of much importance, above all in the plants based fundamentally in the gravimetric principles. The capacity of treatment is largely controlled by the capacity of the main canal in function of the depth of the water (hydraulic ratio), in other terms we must pass minimal quantity of water to deposit the largest amount of gold, in the same form the quantity of sand and the thickness of the clastos.

Weight Volume
The amount of mineral carrying, from the moment the washing of the material starts, it goes to constitute the circulating pulp through all the circuit of washing in straight relation with all the parameters line up, including the study of declivity.

Declivity Study
The ideal pendent for the normal function of a large canal is complex to determine in a theoretic form, but when this is direct function of a series of variables already mentioned, conjugating to the type of riflery to be used, in consequence it is necessary to make some experimental tests for each operation.
