From the perspective of resource recovery and environmental protection, coal gangue-fly ash cemented backfill coal mining has become an important direction for the green development of coal mines in recent years. Analysis of the rheological parameters of backfill slurry is the basic principle to design a backfill pipeline system. Coal gangue-fly ash backfill slurry has a mass concentration of 76% to 79% and a maximum particle size 20 mm. Therefore, it is difficult to use conventional rheometers for experimental analyses of the rheological parameters of such fluids. We developed a rheometer for high-concentration coal gangue backfill slurry (HCGS rheometer) based on the coal gangue-fly ash backfill practice of Gonggeying Mine, and analyzed the rheological properties of the backfill slurry. The experimental results showed that the Reynolds number of the coal gangue-fly ash backfill slurry was much smaller than the critical Reynolds number, indicating the flow state in the pipeline was laminar. Based on these results, it may be more appropriate to control the mass concentration to 77% to 78%, and the suggested fly ash content is 25%. This work provides a scientific basis to optimize the backfill parameters and pipeline system in coal mines.

Good fluidity is the precondition to ensure the pipeline transportation of the filling slurry. The admixture in the filling slurry will affect the rheological properties of the slurry. In this paper, yield stress (YS), viscosity coefficient (VC), and expansion (ED) of the filling slurry were measured by the MCR52 rheometer and expansion tester, respectively, and the influence regularities of the three kinds of admixtures including fly ash (FA), polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PS), and polyethylene oxide (PEO) on the rheological properties of the filling slurry were obtained. The results show that when other conditions are fixed, the fluidity of the slurry becomes worse with the increase of the amount of fly ash but improves with the increase of the amount of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer; polyethylene oxide is not suitable for the improvement of the fluidity of the high-concentration full-tailing filling slurry, and the fluidity of the slurry becomes worse rapidly with the increase of the amount of polyethylene oxide.

The cemented coal gangue-fly ash backfill (CGFB) slurry has commonly been used to control subsidence damage caused by underground coal mining. This paper discusses the CGFB slurry rheological characteristic associated with the various percentage of the fly ash within the configuration of the mixture. A general description about CGFB slurry fluidity in the pipe transportation is provided. The physical, chemical and rheological characteristic of the CGFB have been determined in the test. The fly ash was mixed with 18%, 20% and 22% of solid concentration with respects to 12%, 10% and 8% for cement on various concentrated CGFB slurry ranges 76.05%, 78.05% and 80.05%. The tests verify the CGFB slurry exhibits non-Newtonian behavior in nature as Bingham plastic fluid. The experimental data show CGFB slurry rheological characteristic is noticeable influenced by the slurry solid concentration and the proportion of the fly ash, which affects the value of yield stress and viscosity. The lower value of the rheological parameters was observed on 22 % fly ash other than the 18 % case based on the same solid concentration of CGFB slurry.

In order to determine the concentration range of high-density slurry with coarse sands for suiting pipeline transportation in Jinchuan mine, at the same time find a suitable model to predict yield stress. In this paper, based on the coarse sand of Jinchuan mine as material to prepare high-density slurry, studied on the rheological properties. Through two-factor variance analysis, qualitative and ration analysis of the effect was conducted on the cement content and mass concentration to rheological parameters. The results show that the rheological model of the coarse sand is similar to that of Bingham plastic fluid, the mass concentration has a significant effect on viscosity and yield stress, and the viscosity is significantly affected by the cement content. The mass concentration of 82%-84% is suitable gravity transportation in pipeline. Meanwhile the relation model is established between yield stress and water-cement ratio, aggregate volume concentration, the model has high precision. These provide technical basis for designing filling system and ensuring the stability of slurry transportation, and a new idea for the research of rheological properties.

AbstractSubmarine debris flows are mass movement processes on the seafloor, and are geohazards for seafloor infrastructure such as pipelines, communication cables, and submarine structures. Understanding the generation and run-out behavior of submarine debris flows is thus critical for assessing the risk of such geohazards. The rheological properties of seafloor sediments are governed by factors including sediment composition, grain size, water content, and physico-chemical conditions. In addition, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) generated by microorganisms can affect rheological properties in natural systems. Here we show that a small quantity of EPS (~ 0.1 wt%) can potentially increase slope stability and decrease the mobility of submarine debris flows by increasing the internal cohesion of seafloor sediment. Our experiments demonstrated that the flow behavior of sediment suspensions mixed with an analogue material of EPS (xanthan gum) can be described by a Herschel–Bulkley model, with the rheological parameters being modified progressively, but not monotonously, with increasing EPS content. Numerical modeling of debris flows demonstrated that the run-out distance markedly decreases if even 0.1 wt% of EPS is added. The addition of EPS can also enhance the resistivity of sediment to fluidization triggered by cyclic loading, by means of formation of an EPS network that binds sediment particles. These findings suggest that the presence of EPS in natural environments reduces the likelihood of submarine geohazards.

На начальных участках магистрального нефтепровода Узень - Атырау - Самара формируются партии низкозастывающих бузачинских и высокозастывающих мангышлакских нефтей. По маршруту транспортировки осуществляются дополнительные подкачки нефтей с различными физико-химическими и реологическими характеристиками, что может оказывать существенное влияние на свойства перекачиваемых нефтесмесей. Цель настоящей работы - исследование физико-химических и реологических свойств бузачинской и мангышлакской нефтесмесей на маршруте поставки Узень - Атырау, а также диапазона и причин изменений характеристик бузачинской нефти (основной в компонентном составе нефтесмесей, перекачиваемых по нефтепроводу Узень - Атырау - Самара). По результатам исследований установлено, что свойства мангышлакской нефтесмеси изменяются в незначительных пределах. Для бузачинской нефтесмеси свойственна нестабильность реологических параметров, которые могут изменяться в широком диапазоне в результате путевой подкачки на различных участках нефтепровода. Колебания реологических параметров наиболее показательных проб партий бузачинской нефтесмеси рекомендуется учитывать для решения задач повышения текучести высоковязких нефтей и оптимизации технологических режимов работы трубопроводов, по которым осуществляется перекачка таких нефтей. Методами газохроматографического анализа молекулярно-массового распределения тугоплавких парафинов и поляризационной микроскопии определена температура нагрева бузачинской и мангышлакской нефтесмесей, оптимальная для ввода депрессорной присадки. At the initial sections of the Uzen - Atyrau - Samara main oil pipeline, batches of low pour point Buzachinsky and high pour point Mangyshlak oils are formed. Additional pumping of oils with different physical, chemical and rheological characteristics is carried out along the transportation route, which can have a significant effect on the properties of the pumped oil mixtures. The purpose of this study is to examine the physical, chemical and rheological properties of Buzachi and Mangyshlak oil mixtures on the Uzen - Atyrau supply route, as well as the range and causes of changes in the characteristics of Buzachinsky oil (the main oil mixture in the blend composition pumped through the Uzen - Atyrau - Samara pipeline). According to the research results, it was found that the properties of the Mangyshlak oil mixture vary within insignificant limits. The Buzachinsky oil mixture is characterized by instability of rheological parameters, which can vary in a wide range as a result of route pumping at different pipeline sections. Fluctuations of the rheological parameters of the most indicative samples of batches of the Buzachinsky oil mixture are recommended to be taken into account in order to increase the fluidity of high-viscosity oils and optimize the process modes of operation of pipelines through which such oils are pumped. Using the methods of gas chromatographic analysis of the molecular weight distribution of high-melting-point paraffins, as well as polarization microscopy, the optimal heating temperature for the introduction of a pour point depressant into the Buzachinsky and Mangyshlak oil mixtures has been determined.

Knowledge about structure and rheological peculiarities of drilling solutions and reagents applied for the proceeding of oil wells has significant value for the forecasting of oil wells drilling. The research results of the structure of the humic substances of peat and brown coals precipitated in different pH ranges from the standpoint of their ability to structure formation on the base of the rheological curves obtaining of the flow of their dispersions and determining of their rheological parameters in terms of their application in drilling practice are given in the article. It is established that during transition from fraction, beset into alkaline media (12.0–8.5) to fraction beset into acid media (5.0–2.0) the decrease of the rheological indicators of caustobiolate humic substance is occurred. Rheological curves of the flow of the disperse of caustobiolate humic substances of the fraction 1 and 2 are characterized for strong fossil structures, disperses of humic substances of the fraction 3 is for less strong coagulation structures. Less structured are humic substances of brown coal so that their use is preferable for the regulation of the structure and rheological peculiarities of drilling solutions.
