Parameters Affecting Process of Particles Sedimentation: III
Kulaviak, Lukáš ; Růžička, Marek ; Drahoš, Jiří ; Hladil, Jindřich
The aim of our contribution is to study the effect of the particles properties on their settling behaviour in solid-liquid suspensions. Generally, the particles interact mutually in a complex way. They are also coupled with the motion of the liquid whose flow they generate. The resulting behaviour depends on many mechanical particle properties (roughness, shape, size, abrasive hardness, texture, fine particle presence) and electrochemical properties of the interface between the particles and water (surface tension, zeta-potential, electrostatic potential, etc.).

Povaha toku modelových suspenzí

The main object of the present investigation is to test the settling abilities of mixtures of solid particles in liquids. The key quantity here is the magnitude of the viscosity, both of the carrying liquid (water-glycerol solutions) and the effective viscosity of the two-phase mixture. Few model systems were used (glass and polystyrene pellets), to study the settling process. The sedimentation were recorded by a video camera and the resulting deposit structure was photographed. Besides, also a real suspension was tested, of geological materials (calcite, quartz, mixed geological powder, etc.). Immersion rotary viscometer Brookfield with special spindles (RVT and V spindles) was used to measure the effective viscosity of the dispersion.

Viskozitní charakteristiky geologických suspenzí

The system under study was real geological suspension – ground sedimentary rocks of different chemical composition (calcite, quartz, etc.) dispersed in water-glycerol solutions. The reference one-phase system was a Newtonian liquid (glycerine with water). It is problematic to measure the rheology of settling suspensions, so some specific tools must be used. We used the rotating vane rheometry, with the immersion viscometer Brookfield and two spindles V-71 and V-72. The basic rheological data of solid-liquid system are displayed as flow and effective viscosity curves. The obtained results on rheology were related to the settling behaviour of the geological mixtures, namely to the certain kind of the lateral instability.
