TLDR
In this paper, the compressive yield stress of suspensions containing flocculated kaolin, alumina, and hydrous zirconia was measured using three different techniques: pressure filtration, volume fraction profile during centrifugation, and sediment height during spinning speeds.Abstract:
The compressive rheological responses of suspensions containing flocculated kaolin, alumina (average particle sizes of 0.2 and 0.5 {micro}m), and hydrous zirconia (average particle sizes of 8, 57, and 139 nm) particles have been measured using three different techniques: pressure filtration, volume fraction profile during centrifugation, and sediment height during centrifugation at multiple spinning speeds. While the volume fraction profile technique appears to be experimentally most robust, equivalent responses are found using the different techniques, indicating that the compressive yield stress is a material property of a given suspension. The compressive yield stress of each suspension increases rapidly with volume fraction but cannot be generally described using simple power-law or exponential fits. The compressive yield stress also increases with the inverse square of particle size. The packing behavior of the suspensions undergoing osmotic consolidation is compared with the mechanical compressive yield response. Some suspensions exhibited the same packing behavior as in the mechanical techniques, while others consistently packed to higher densities during osmotic consolidation. Although equivalent osmotic and mechanical loads do not always result in the same volume fractions, the similar increases in volume fraction with applied driving force suggest that both the osmotic and mechanical techniques are controlled by themore » force needed to rearrange the particle network.« lessread more

TL;DR: In this paper, the compressive yield stress of particle gels shows a highly nonlinear dependence on the packing fraction, and the authors have studied continuous compression processes, and discussed packing fraction dependence with the particle scale rearrangements.

The consolidation of concentrated suspensions. Part 1.—The theory of sedimentation
Richard Buscall,Lee R. White +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentration or consolidation of suspensions of fine particles under the influence of a gravitational field has been analyzed and a constitutive equation is suggested for irreversibly flocculated suspensions undergoing consolidation which embodies the concept of a concentration-dependent yield stress Py(ϕ).
