Summary
Masters thesis. Evaluates a unique water treatment process to be implemented in placer gold mining at Gilmore Creek and Crooked Creek in Alaska. Proposes the use of polyethylene oxide (PEO) as a coagulant of suspended ultrafine particles to promote sedimentation, and reduce water turbidity, which has been an environmental disadvantage in placer mining.
