RHEOLOGIC CHARACTERISTIC OF HIGH DENSITY TAILINGS SLURRY USED FOR STOWING IN JINCHUAN MINE

To reduce environmental pollution,improve stowing performance and make use of tailings in large quantities from ore dressing,lab tests to study flowing and rheologic characteristic of high density tailings slurry(paste-like)in pipeline have been done.Based on test results,the design of self-flowing and pumping system of high density tailings slurry to be transported through pipeline and used as material for cemented stowing can be accomplished.The paper describes in detatils the test procedures and the ways of how to measure out the flowing and rheologic characteristic of tailing slurry.
