Abstract
We investigated that how both the type and the concentration of coal and the surfactant and the electrolyte added to increase the fluidity of CWM influence rheological characteristics. According to the type of coal, the viscosity of CWM was increased with increasing O/C ratio. Also, the CWM was represented the property of non-Newtonian fluid, having yield stress which was linerarly increased with increasing coal concentration. According to the surfactant used as an additive, the rheological characteristics of CWM was represented the pseudoplastic property as n<1 without relating to the concentration of added surfactants. Also, according to the increase of the amount of electrolyte, n was nearly approached 1. Therfore, we found that CWM opproched Newtonian fluid and that when more than 0.05wt.% of electrolyte were added, yield stress was not shown up.
석탄의 종류와 농도 및 CWM의 유동성을 증가시키기 위해 첨가되는 계면활성제와 전해질이 CWM의 유동특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 탄종에 따른 CWM의 점도는 O/C 비가 높을 수록 높게 나타났다. 또한 CWM은 항복응력을 갖는 비뉴톤유체의 특성을 나타내며, 항복응력은 농도가 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였다. 첨가제로 사용된 계면활성제에 따른 CWM의 유동특성은 첨가되는 계면활성제의 농도에 관계없이 n<1인 pseudoplastic의 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 전해질의 투입량이 증가할수록 n은 1로 접근하여 CWM이 뉴톤유체에 접근하는 것으로 나타났으며, 전해질을 0.05wt.% 이상 첨가하였을 때는 항복응력이 나타나지 않았다.
