FLUIDIZATION OF CLAY SUSPENSIONS

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

It is found that the casting rejections recycled hinder fluidization due to the presence of gypsum contamination arising out of plaster moulds which acts as the source of Ca2+ and SO42- ions. SO42- ions promotes flocculation. They also induce thixotropy in the slip which reduces casting time. But the cast is of flabby nature due […]
