| Zusammenfassung: | Processes of consolidating aqueous compositions including fines and process water are disclosed. The processes include mixing the composition with a highly water soluble salt or an aqueous solution thereof to destabilize and consolidate solids in the compositions, e.g., to destabilize and consolidate fines, and separating the consolidated solids from the process water. A water soluble polymer and coarse particles, e.g., sand, can also be used in the treatment of the compositions. |
