Abstract

Structuring processes during the drying of molded materials based on peat and sapropel are studied in terms of interparticle interaction energy. The structuring during drying occurs in two steps, which are governed by the ratio between the liquid and solid phases of the system. The change in structural characteristics is caused by a certain type of molecular interaction. The final state of the system is directly affected by the shrinkage rate and anisotropy emerging during molding and drying. It is shown that the fracture activation energy abruptly changes in the transition from one structuring step to the other. The mechanism of this process is considered at various ratios between the concentrations of the organic and mineral matters of disperse materials of biogenic origin.
