Abstract
The rapid passage of peat slurries through nozzles disrupts the ultrastructure of the peat substrate and facilities solubilization of key components resulting in changes of hydrophilicity. Improved dewaterability can thus be achieved. Characterization of the chemical changes occurring in peat and the development of a simple yet quantitative procedure to account for dewaterability are discussed in this presentation. The carbohydrate content is used as marker for the chemical changes.
