density of iron tailings (2121.9 kg/m3) is higher than that of the sharp sand (2118.3 kg/m3). Samples of iron tailings used have an average specific gravity of 4.13 compared to the specific gravity of sharp sand (2.97). This high specif-ic gravity can be traced to iron content since its density is more significant than sand.
