The only problem you have is that coal tailings/paste are not a viscous fluid.
rather a semi solid. ■
Viscosity of Coal Tailings Paste
Hey everyone
I have read a few posts on how dependent viscosity is on a variety of factors. However, I am just doing some rough calculations for pump selection etc (this is a feasability study), so I am just after a rough idea, a ball park figure so to speak for viscosity. the details are below.
Material: Coal Tailings:
Max partical size: 50mm
Water Content: 40-50% weight
If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. This is the first time we have looked into this option of paste disposal of tailings, so we don't have a lot of knowledge on it. Can anyone recommend any literature/contacts in Australia.
Also, what should be added to make it more a paste, I have heard cement is good, but is there something else, or do I even need to add anything.
Thanks for the help.
