Va. Zavgorodnii et al., The effect of coal surface heterogeneity on structure formation and stability in water-coal suspensions, COLL J, 61(1), 1999, pp. 39-44
The effect of coal surface mosaic pattern on structure formation and stabil
ity in highly concentrated water-coal suspensions under static conditions w
as analyzed. It was shown that both viscosity and sedimentation stability o
f the highly concentrated water-coal suspensions increased with an increase
in the degree of surface mosaic pattern, which is determined by the ash co
ntent of the coal.
