Minimum Void Ratio Model Established from Tailings and Determination of Optimal Void Ratio
Figure 3
Characteristics of void ratio versus fine content for tailing mixtures. is the minimum void ratio. is the fine content (%). is the optimal void ratio. is the optimal fine content. is the slope for the left line, representing equation (6). is the slope for the right line, representing equation (12). MN is the upper boundary. MP and NP are the lower boundaries.
