In this study, the flocculation of calcitic and dolomitic (21.2 % MgO) marble wastes was investigated using six flocculants with different molecular weights and anionic levels. Nine solutions between 0.1 and 2.5 mg/L were prepared, and marble waste samples were treated in natural, slightly acidic, and alkaline media. The anionic flocculants had a more dramatic effect on the slower-settling dolomitic marble than the calcitic marble. Calcite precipitation was better in an alkaline medium, while dolomitic marble precipitation was better at a slightly acidic pH of 6.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCalcitic marbleDolomitic marbleMarble wastesSlurry purificationStoneArticle35333233610.1007/s10230-015-0367-z2-s2.0-84944613331Q2WOS:000382193900008Q3
