The invention discloses a 
dehydration device for thick paste in a 
tailings pond in a polymetallic mine 
plant and a 
dehydration method of the device, and relates to the technical field of thick paste 
dehydration of mine 
tailings. The device includes a body arranged on a supporting iron frame, and a central round 
pipe is inserted into the body; the top of the central round 
pipe is connected with a motor, and the bottom is connected with a rotary 
paddle board; the motor is fixedly arranged on the top of the body, and the rotary 
paddle board is arranged in the body; a material inlet is arranged inthe top of the body, a mud 
discharge opening is arranged in the bottom, a water outlet 
pipe communicates with the side wall of the body, and a valve is arranged on the water outlet pipe; a heating rod is installed in the body, an annular conductor is wound outside the body, the annular conductor is connected to a control box, and a variable 
magnetic field is provided through the annular conductor; and electrodes are installed in the body. The dehydration method based on the above device provided by the invention has wide applicability, has small thick paste environmental influence after dehydration, realizes 
modularity and is easy to maintain; and the method has higher dehydration efficiency, and is beneficial to practical application of deep dehydration of the thick paste in the tailingspond in the 
tungsten-
zinc polymetallic mine 
plant.
