Fluidization Characteristics of Medium-High-Consistency Pulp Fiber Suspensions with an Impeller

Fluidization Characteristics of Medium-High-Consistency Pulp Fiber Suspensions with an Impeller

When the mass concentration exceeds 7%, pulp suspensions stop flowing and act like a solid. To investigate the fluidization characteristics of medium-high-consistency pulp suspensions and achieve pulp fluidization and pumping, experiments were carried out with waste tissue pulp and unbleached kraft...
