John I would not go adding Cemicals to a water recycle unit or a bucket of crushed ore even bleach to save your water contains Chlorine and some Ores have Oils and Arsnic the More you add the more you have to remove, the best water is revers osmosis I try to reuse as much water as I can
Yeah, i dunno. In the back of my mind I have been thinking of rubbing alcohol, lacquer thinner, or even MEK as less dense fluid to extend the gravity separating properties that water provides. I have not encountered any discussion of this and am planning to experiment with in the future.
This is Crushed Ore I was Tring to get to the bottom of the bucket and grab some of the bigger pieces, the Slurry is so Thick it keeps every thing bouyant it is goong to take a lot of Water to process

Good points... naturally occurring compounds in ores. I hadn't thought of this.
