ABSTRACT

The technical term slurry contains quite a wide concept of solid-liquid mixtures. If a solid-liquid mixture has some fluidity, we call it a slurry. However, suspended solid particles vary in size from very fine colloidal particles to sedimentable coarse particles. Also, the surface characteristics change according to the combination of solid material and liquid phase. Therefore, the flow characteristics of slurry change widely. The solid concentration greatly affects the viscosity of slurry.
