Solidification mechanism of the sediment formed by particle settling – Analysis of the formation of the solidified layer

In various industrial processes, it is important to prevent the solidification in order to maintain the slurry properties. In order to predict the formation of the sediment and solidified layer, the gravitational sedimentation behavior of the slurries obtained by changing the slurry pH and the time change in the formation of sediment were observed. As a result, we can predict the solidification time and precisely predict the formation of the solidified layer and determine suitable conditions for the storage of slurries.
