Abstract
An automated technique to measure the settling velocity of particle su spensions has been developed. The technique relies on the measurement of conductance as solids settle through a conductivity cell. The cell consists of two electrodes mounted flush with the wall of a cylinder a nd separated by a set distance. The technique is illustrated by determ ining settling velocities for single and mixed sizes of silica, and as means of detecting particle agglomeration. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
