This study investigates the settling phenomenon of coal-oil solids as a function of solids concentration, initial slurry height, settling container diameter, temperature, chemical treatment, and application of ultrasonic radiation. Mathematical correlations developed by Michaels and Bolger were utilized in the analysis of the data and were found to be applicable for this system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
