Tailings Test

  1. Add 100 mL water and 5mL tailings sample to a small beaker, repeat for 5 beakers.
  2. Dip a belt into water/tailings solution for 3 seconds, pull out and scrape removed solution into an empty beaker. Repeat 5 times.
  3. Perform previous step in a separate beaker for each belt sample.
  4. Measure mass of each beaker with a scale to see which belt skimmed most tailings.
  5. Record observations of color of each skimmed solution beaker.
  6. Based on color and mass of each skimmed beaker, rank belts from greatest to worst for ability to NOT pick up tailings.
