Application of Mineral Processing Techniques in Soil Washing

The soil washing process is similar to one applied in mineral processing. In mineral processing the useful mineral component is separated from tailings, and in soil washing relatively small amount of highly contaminated concentrate is separated from the mass of cleaned soil. The washing process includes several stages: soil preparation (pre-screaning and possibly crushing), liberation and separation of individual components respectively, classification, sorting and dewatering. The paper describes the individual stages of washing as well as the most important machines which is used in the process. Personal expirience wtih the application of attrition and column flotation are mentioned.
