Water is used in mining operations for mineral processing and metal recovery. During mining operations, a range of physical and chemical processes requiring water include grinding, flotation, the concentration of gravity, dense medium separation and hydrometallurgical processes. Gold, silver, diamonds, nickel, and copper are associated with the highest water consumption because of the lower concentration in ores [1]. Generally, it explained by the concentrator produces wastewater even use raw water. So one of the good solutions that increases reuse the processed water, reduces the waste volume and reduce the consumption of raw water or fresh water is tailing thickener technique.
