The main aim of this study was to investigate how primary process variables such as clay mineral type, polymer functionality, agitation intensity and temperature influence flocculant-mediated interfacial chemistry and particle interactions and the concomitant dewatering behaviour of colloidally stable clay dispersions. It is also an arching aim to explore how using these variables, pulp detwaterability might be optimised. / Thesis (PhDApSc(MineralsandMaterials))--University of South Australia, 2006.

The erosion behaviour of clay soils has been investigated through a comprehensive program of laboratory testing. Three different erosion test methods have been employed including the rotating cylinder test (RCT), the hole erosion test (HET), and the slaking test (SLT). A new rotating cylinder test device is designed and manufactured capable of testing disturbed and undisturbed soil samples in saturated and unsaturated states. Details of the equipment along with its calibration, testing and sampling procedures are provided. The HET has been reviewed and modified to provide consistent test results. In addition, the slaking test has been customised to accept samples identical to those used in the RCT. A total 111 RCT, 139 HET, and 108 slaking tests have been conducted and analysed. Typical shapes of the erosion curves are identified, based on a wide range of shear stresses and erosion rates analysed. Correlations are presented between the RCT and HET, and between the RCT and SLT to allow characterisation of clay soil erosion in a consistent and unified manner. The erosion modes of clay soils are investigated and categorised into three main groups: ???dispersive erosion???, ???saturated non-dispersive erosion???, and ???unsaturated non-dispersive erosion???. It is shown that soils falling in the same category exhibit near identical erosion characteristics. Factors affecting clay soil erodibility are investigated and displayed for each erosion mode. All findings are presented in a unified framework. A suggested procedure is provided for the evaluation erosion potential in clay soils for practical applications.
