Rheocalc T Software for Efficient Fluid Fine Tailings Management

The management of fluid fine tailings (FFT) has long been a significant challenge for the mining industry. In situ polymerization, a low-cost and practical method, has been proposed as a solution to this problem. To achieve rapid consolidation rates and enhance physical properties, Rheocalc T software can be used in conjunction with the Brookfield Engineering Labs (BEL) DV-111 Rheometer.

Rheocalc T is a powerful software program designed for use on IBM-compatible Personal Computers (PCs). It provides users with the ability to analyze data, generate plots to compare tests, run math models, and perform other time-saving routines. The software can also automate sample testing, ensuring maximized accuracy, reliability, and work efficiency.

In situ polymerization creates a continuous silica network within the fluid phase of FFT, allowing unrestricted water movement while preventing fines migration and blinding of drainage boundaries. This process modifies the rheological properties of FFT, imparting significant yield strength and consolidation benefits that are maintained throughout the dewatering process.

Rheocalc T software version 2.4 can analyze data using the Bingham equation (T = To + nD), generate multiple plot overlays, print tabular data, run math models, and perform other tasks. The software is designed to work seamlessly with the new DVT-2 Rheometer.

By utilizing Rheocalc T software, mining companies can effectively manage fluid fine tailings, achieve rapid consolidation rates, and enhance physical properties while maintaining a high level of accuracy and reliability.
