Abstract

Characterisation and control of the structure and properties of particulate solids suspensions is of widespread importance with respect to many operations, such as separation, dispersion and densification in the ceramics and related industries. In this paper we describe techniques which have been used to study the effects of changes in basic parameters, for example solids content, particle size, electrolyte concentration and added polymer on the aggregated suspension morphology and characteristics. Suspension morphology was examined by a number of methods, notably freeze-etch microscopy. The mechanical properties of suspensions such as their compressional modulus and rheological behaviour was also examined.
