Abstract

A rigorous literature review has been carried out on rheological behavior of hard and soft particle slurries. The rheological characteristics of unimodal and bimodal suspension are presented. From experimentation, it was observed that mineral viscosity increases with solid concentration, while decreases with temperature. Addition of 30% (by weight) proportion of finer particles in coarse particles resulted in significant decrease in apparent viscosity of iron ore suspension. Artificial neural network approach was used for predicting the apparent viscosity of slurry.
