CA 2741020

A system for clarifying fine tailings in an aqueous suspension in oil sands tailing ponds uses electrophoresis to collect fine tailings on respective electrodes during application of a first electrical potential to the electrodes. The collected fine tailings can then be deposited from the electrodes to a collection area below the electrodes during application of a second electrical potential of opposing polarity. The first and second electrodes are continued to be alternately applied to the electrodes until the fluid is substantially clarified of fine tailings in suspension.
