| 5 | Effects of Dispex A40 on Rheology and Filter Pressing Behaviours of Concentrated Alumina Suspensions显示文摘Variation of plastic viscosity and extrapolated shear yield stress with the concentration of Dispex A40 for the concentrated Alcoa A16 α-Al2O3 suspensions at 0.27 powder volume fraction was investigated at 294 K. An optimum level of Dispex A40 for full deflocculation is found to be at 0.18% mass fraction of the powder, at which the rheological behaviour shows little different to that of adjusting the pH to 4 to obtain full deflocculation. It is demonstrated that the shear stress drop can roughly work as an index for the thixotropy in particular fixed conditions, and consequently an index for the deflocculation as the shear stress drop becomes larger when the level of the flocculation increases, and vice versa. It is also found that the addition of Dispex A40 can prevent the filter cakes from cracking, whereas the cakes at various pH values with polyvinyl alcohol as a sole polymer normally develop cracking during drying. | Renjie ZENGt Dept. of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Xiamen, Xiamen 361005, China B.Rand Dept. of Process, Environment & Materials Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK | 2001 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2001，17，6： | 0 |
