Abstract

AbstractTransport of mineral concentrates is associated with high risk of liquefaction of the cargoes. This type of goods containing water may liquefy and shift dangerously across the cargo compartments. Therefore, it is rational to limit the moisture content of the cargoes which may liquefy. To prevent sliding and shifting of ore concentrates in storage biodegradable materials composed of starch are added to the mineral concentrates. The influence of adding starch materials to the mineral concentrates on its parameters determining ability for safe shipment was assessed on the basis of determination of the following parameters: permeability, cohesion and internal friction angle of concentrates.
