Abstract:
The rheological parameters of unclassified tailings paste were tested by L-Box method and using a vane-rheometer in order to calculate the frictional drag, and then detect the results accuracy of L-Box method. The results show that, yield stress increased from 68.9~73.4 to 212.4~225.1 Pa along with the increase of paste concentration from 72 to 78%. Furthermore, yield stress increased exponentially with slurry concentration and featured a sharp increase when concentration increased from 76 to 78%. The results of L-Box method and vane-rheometer were similar, although that of the latter was slightly greater, with the deviation being 0.65 to 11.89% (its average being 7.18%). The calculated frictional drag was 3.39 ~ 6.6MPa/km with a backfill capacity of 60 m3/h, pipe diameter of DN150, and slurry concentration of 74~78%.
