The concentration of fine particle suspensions is a crucial step in many industrial processes, two major processes that depend on this are the disposal of mine tailings as highly concentrated slurries, and the wet casting of ceramic components from highly concentrated suspensions. The thickening and filtration operations in these processes are still not completely understood. The successful design and operation consolidation equipment must be based on the properties of the target suspension. The quantitative characterisation of suspensions in settling and compression was the prime objective of this thesis. (For complete abstract open document)
