This work discusses dewatering of CaCO 3 suspensions in the presence of a dispersant (sodium polyacrylate). Suspensions were dewatered using the rotating disk‐aided dead‐end dynamic filtration technique. Dewatering efficiency was studied as a function of the dispersant content and operational parameters (disk rotation speed, filtration pressure). Two dewatering modes, with initial ( i ‐dewatering) and delayed ( d ‐dewatering) dispersant addition, were tested. For concentrated suspensions, the d ‐dewatering allowed higher final dryness and better fluidity than i ‐dewatering with minimum dispersant losses in the filtrate.
